The First Clinic

After a series of chance meetings with Discindo members, actor and drama teacher (and now sporting coach) Ardy Ferdianto decided he would come and find out about this strange sport that he kept hearing about. He was hooked, and began preaching the gospel to his students.

In May 2006 Discindo ran a clinic for kids from a small neighbourhood called Poncol before their Sunday training at Lapangan Panahan in Senayan. Around 40 kids turned up, learnt how to throw, how to catch and the basic rules of the game, Discindo gave them some old practice discs and off they went home.

Little did the members of Discindo know the revolution that was about to take place.

Despite the fact that the concrete field at the neighbourhood junior high school was not much larger than a badminton court, and the front end of one of the end zones was marked by a foot high concrete step, the kids began to p ractice on their own and started taking the hour and a half long bus ride to come to Senayan (where Discindo trains) once or twice a week.

See below for some photos of the clinic.

Note: We didn't teach them this move...
