Ultimate: Forehand Throw

Help your players understand the correct forehand throwing technique and progress to learning game specific skills to beat the defence.

• Create a playing area which has two large areas for each team and a central out-of-bounds area; each team stays in their side.
• Teams are allowed up to 3 passes between themselves, then must throw the disc into the other area.
• If the disc is not caught and lands inside the receiving team’s area, award 1pt to the throwing team.

1. Player 1 and Player 2 start facing the same direction, into the space where the disc will be thrown
2. Player 2 has the disc
3. Player 2 turns and throws to Player 1.
4. Player 2 then runs across in front of Player 1, who throws into space for Player 2 to catch
5. Aim to throw into the space in front of Player 2
6. Don’t throw too hard; this is easier to execute if thrown softly

• Split into groups of 3
• One disc per group
• Form a triangle, 5 metres from each athlete
• Players must fake the pass anticlockwise to one partner, and then use the forehand throw to the other partner

• Select around 10% of the players to be "taggers". The rest evade them.
• The evaders are given 3 frisbees to carry between them
• When players are tagged, they must stand still with their arms out to their sides
• Players can be freed by catching a disc (if they don't have one), or by completing a pass (if they do have a disc)
