Ultimate: Linking V Cuts Backhand

 .                        Three handlers are positioned in a ‘V’ shape, with Player 1 starting with the disc

1. There is a defender standing between Player 1 and Player 3
2. Player 2 stands at the bottom of the ‘V’ shape, forming a triangle with Players 1 & 3
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

1. Receiver 1 makes a cut underneath; Handler 1 throws them the disc
2. Just as Receiver 1 is about to catch, Handler 2 makes a short cut downfield
3. Receiver 1 passes the disc to Handler 2. This should be a very short pass.
4. 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 “Forehand fake to backhand throw” used in a game situation to throw against the marker

1. Ensure that you are balanced throughout the movement
2. Try to avoid putting your foot down in the middle; it should take a single step to perform this move.
