Ultimate Drills

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

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)

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 and must sit down. Keep going until there is a winning team. If a pass is not caught then it must be repeated

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 forehand 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

Practice moving from the ‘Backhand with pivot’ position to the ‘Forehand with pivot’ position smoothly 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. When learning this movement, take a slight pause in the final position before releasing the disc to ensure that you are balanced

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.

(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

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 “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

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.

Form groups of three One player stands in front of the thrower as the "screen"; the thrower then pivots out to the side so they can see the receiver Screens should stand still with arms by their sides Throw the disc. The thrower then runs to the person who caught the disc, stands in front of them to be the "screen". Repeat this process until everyone is comfortable with the reason for pivoting

Players form two queues facing each other Two discs per queue Players take it in turns to run from the front of their queue towards the other; the next person in the opposite queue throws the disc towards them The objective is to catch while running, rather than slowing down After throwing the first disc, the player runs towards the other queue to catch the second disc After catching, the player hands the first disc to the person now stood at the front of the queue and joins the back of that queue
