Ultimate Frisbee School Clinic

Manitoba Organization of Disc Sports (MODS) is a provincial sport governing body that provides the sport of ultimate to adult, youth and school programs in Winnipeg and surrounding areas. MODS has worked with many schools and organizations throughout the years to offer introductory ultimate clinics that have led to participation in school / divisional jamborees, or a MODS-organized tournament.

MODS would like to provide your school with a clinic introducing the sport of ultimate to your students in the way of basic concepts of throwing, catching, running, jumping, and mini-games. The sport of ultimate is noncontact, fast-paced, and self-officiated that emphasizes sportsmanship through the Spirit of the Game. Ultimate is easy to learn, requires little equipment and can be played in any open space.

Please complete the MODS clinic request form to book a clinic!

Connecting Mental Health Literacy and Well-Being to the Physical education / Health Education Curriculum

It is important that Kindergarten to Grade 12 students, as part of their physical education and health education (PE/HE), are able to gain the knowledge and skills they need to support mental health, well-being, and healthy lifestyles. Manitoba Education is pleased to announce the release of Connecting Mental Health Literacy and Well-Being to the Physical Education/Health Education Curriculum. This resource is intended to enhance understanding of the overall integration of mental health throughout the current Manitoba K–12 PE/HE curriculum and increase awareness of resources that are available to support the implementation of mental health curricular learning outcomes.

Along with this resource, Manitoba Education has also created a list of Mental Health and Well-Being 2021/2022 Professional Development Sessions (attached) that are taking place in the upcoming months. These sessions are being offered in English only.
