Ultimate: Dish Drill Backhand

 .                        Three handlers are positioned in a ‘V’ shape, with Player 1 starting with the disc There is a defender standing between Player 1 and Player 3 Player 2 stands at the bottom of the ‘V’ shape, forming a triangle with Players 1 & 3 The objective is to get the disc from Player 1 to Player 3 without throwing near the defender.  To achieve this, Player 1 should turn to throw to Player 2, who is then able to throw to Player 3

A receiver and thrower start facing the same direction, into the space where the disc will be thrown The receiver runs across in front of the thrower, who throws a backhand into space for the receiver to catch Aim to throw into the space in front of the receiver Don’t throw too hard; this is easier to execute if thrown softly

Use the same principles as “Throwing into space”; practice that one first Set up with a receiver around 5-10m from the thrower The receiver starts by running directly away from the thrower for around 5m The receiver then turns and runs at a 45 degree angle towards and to one side of the thrower, who throws into space for the receiver to make a catch.   The thrower only has one chance, so throw it early

Here’s an example of the “Forehand fake to backhand throw” used in a game situation to throw against the marker Ensure that you are balanced throughout the movement Try to avoid putting your foot down in the middle; it should take a single step to perform this move.

Receiver 1 makes a cut underneath; Handler 1 throws them the disc Just as Receiver 1 is about to catch, Handler 2 makes a short cut downfield Receiver 1 passes the disc to Handler 2. This should be a very short pass. Receiver 2 then cuts – this can be a cut towards the disc, away from the disc, a V cut, etc – and Handler 2 passes the disc

Players are instructed to jog around alone, avoiding touching each other or coming too close to one another Coach will calls out a number, and the players need to form groups of that size, then continue to jog around, staying close to their group and avoiding others The teacher can call any numbers in any order, challenging the players to think and organise themselves quickly Begin eliminating groups who fail to organise themselves, or groups that are caught out" as a result of the number of players not being divisible by the number called out

Use the same principles as “V cuts under”; practice that one first Set up with two receivers around 5-10m from the thrower Receiver 1 starts by running directly away from the thrower for around 5m The receiver then turns and runs at a 45 degree angle towards and to one side of the thrower, who throws into space for the receiver to make a catch.   As soon as the disc is thrown, Receiver 2 runs directly away from the thrower As the disc is caught by Receiver 1, Receiver 1 turns and runs at a 45 degree angle towards and to one side of Receiver 1, who throws into space for Receiver 2 to make a catch.

(4 offence, 1 defence, complete 10 passes, small pitch) Mark out a 8m x 8m square with cones 4 players form a team aiming to complete 10 passes 1 defender attempts to stop them If the team on offence complete 10 passes, add another defender and repeat

Use the same principles as “Throwing into space” and “Longer leading pass”; practice those first Set up with a receiver and defender around 5-10m from the thrower, with the defender standing to one side of the receiver and both facing the thrower The receiver starts by running at a 45 degree angle towards and to one side of the thrower, with the defender staying between the thrower and receiver at all times The receiver then turns and runs directly away from the thrower for around 5m, who throws into space for the receiver to make a catch. The thrower only has one chance, so throw it early
