One invasion game concept that we have learned early in the semester is to always keep track of the frisbee's whereabouts and move towards its approximate area.

By the way, Eric Song and Stephanie Norlander fail.
A frisbee is not a ball, sorry. By definition (credits to dictionary.com), a ball is the following:

Now is a frisbee any one of these? If I am incorrect, please do not approach me at at school. I may be intelligent, but I am no master at debating. On a side note, has anyone watched that movie? It's called "The Great Debater." Excellent choice in my opinion.
