Ultimate Drills

Split into groups of 4 and spread out the players evenly across the width of the playing area (for example, 4 players 2m apart from each other forming a line 6m long) Start with all discs on one side of the field. Teams pass the disc along the line to the far side, and back again. The slowest team is eliminated. Keep going until there is a winning team. If a pass is not caught then it must be repeated

Teams pass the disc along the line to the far side, and back again. The slowest team is eliminated and must sit down. Keep going until there is a winning team. If a pass is not caught then it must be repeated

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

Here’s an example of the “Backhand fake to forehand 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.

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

 .                        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

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
