Hi all,
I'm pleased to let you know that
Skippy Jammer (aka Kevin Givens) has accepted the position of Executive Director of the World Flying Disc Federation! This is a great step for Skippy and will be a big boost of energy and expertise to WFDF, so please join me in congratulating Skippy on this wonderful news. We are sorry to note, however, that Skippy will be resigning his position as Competition Director for the FPA Board of Directors. Although all of us in the FPA (and especially those of us on the FPA Board) will miss his expertise, his good humor, and thoughtful insights on a regular basis, we know that he will be doing good things for the world of Disc Sports, so we wish him all the best as he moves into the leadership role with WFDF. And of course, he'll always be a jammer!
Skippy's words:
"I have accepted the position of Executive Director of the World Flying Disc Federation. Due to the demands of the position I must resign from my position of Competition Director of the FPA. I am confident that the sport of Freestyle is in good hands and I can step aside knowing that competitions are well managed and professionally run. I'd like to thank everyone that I have had a chance to work with and look forward to promoting the sport of Freestyle on a global level through the World Flying Disc Federation. Skippy"
Good luck and best wishes, Skippy!

למי שלא מכיר את סקיפי, הוא אחד מאבות הפריסבי העולמיים, שחקן OVERALL מדהים, ובמיוחד שחקן פריסטייל שהמציא המון מהתרגילים שאנחנו עושים כיום.

בשנת 1998, פגשתי אותו לראשונה בסטנה קרוז עם Sherminator (הידוע בתור גיל שר), ושנינו היינו בשוק מכל הצלחות וחומרי הפריסבי שהיו לו בבית.
