Ultimate: Triangular Passing

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.

• Get into groups of 4, forming a small square approximately 3m per side with 1 disc for each group
• Make sure that for each pass, the thrower & receiver are facing each other before the throwing motion begins.
• Players should not move their feet after catching except to pivot

• Split the group into teams of 8 or more (i.e. 4 players on each side)
• When a player has run to the back of the queue, get them to sit down.
• Once everyone has been through once as a warm up, repeat again as a race. The first team all sat down is the winner!
• Award points for the fastest team (1pt for the slowest team, 2pts for the next slowest, etc). Repeat the race until one team scores

• Players stand in two lines facing each other, slightly off-set to form a zig zag line.
• The disc starts at one end of one line.
• Players throw the disc to the person next along the chain, so that the disc zigzags all the way along.
• Incomplete passes should be repeated.
• Try to get the disc all the way along the line and back again without a turnover; if this is done, all players take 2 steps back and try again.
• See who can get the furthest apart / complete the most passes.
