Ultimate: Forehand Fake with Pivot

 .                        Practice moving from the ‘Forehand with pivot’ position to the ‘Backhand with pivot’ position smoothly

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.
3. When learning this movement, take a slight pause in the final position before releasing the disc to ensure that you are balanced

• In pairs, players are encouraged to practice fakes and throws with a pivot
• Ensure that players are pivoting on the correct leg
• Try to make your fake look like your throw; can your partner tell whether you're about to throw or fake?

1. Turn your body to face your throwing partner

2. If you throw with your left hand:

1. 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

2. Bend your left leg at the knee to allow you to get lower on your throw

3. Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist to release the throw

3. If you throw with your right hand:

1. 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

2. Bend your right leg at the knee to allow you to get lower on your throw

3. Rotate from the waist so you can see your throwing partner, and in one smooth motion rotate your torso and flick your wrist to release the throw

• 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
