Frisbee Tag:

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)

Throwing Skills

Backhand Throw with Pivot:

Turn your body to face your throwing partner If you throw with your left hand: Keep your right foot as your pivot and step over with your left foot to a comfortable position; your hips should now face 180 degrees away from your throwing partner Bend your left leg at the knee to allow you to get lower on your throw Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist as you release the disc, keeping the disc horizontal throughout. If you throw with your right hand:Keep your left foot as your pivot and step over with your right foot to a comfortable position; your hips should now face 180 degrees away from your throwing partner Bend your right leg at the knee to allow you to get lower on your throw Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist as you release the disc, keeping the disc horizontal throughout.

Throwing Skills

Pitch Race:

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

Throwing Skills

Hide & Throw:

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
