The World Flying Disc Federation (WFDF) has launched an appeal for volunteers to serve on its new Communications and Marketing Committee.

The body aims to expand the WFDF's digital presence and enhance the visibility of the sport.

It is envisaged that Communications and Marketing Committee members would work closely with senior WFDF staff plus the managing director of communications and global media, Jen Thomas, to develop campaigns, strategies and communication plans.

Editing video clips from major events, promoting flying disc stars and developing website content are among the expected tasks for the group.

Volunteers with experience in producing press releases and newsletters, creating digital content, working on social media strategy, graphic design and marketing are sought by the WFDF.

The WFDF is aiming for its mixed-gender Ultimate 4s discipline to feature at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

The match format was launched in October last year, with games featuring two 18-minute halves and played on a 45 metres by 25m field, with two 15m deep end zones.

Four players from each mixed-gender team of six compete at any one time, and the WFDF claims the discipline is designed for multi-sport events facing "constraints of time, space, or athletes' quota while preserving the essential qualities of the sport".

An initial programme for Los Angeles 2028 has been approved by the International Olympic Committee, but the Organising Committee still has the chance to submit proposals for additional sports.

The Organising Committee's proposal for additional sports is expected to be finalised in 2023.
