DESCRIPTION

Grip is same as Forehand, see Forehand Grip video

Grip: lightly pinch the rim of the disc between thumb, and two forefingers. The other two fingers should then pinch the underside of the rim, similar to the use of chopsticks.

Hold the disc in a vertical plane over your head, then lightly flick the wrist forwards towards your partner and let go.
Aim to follow through by pointing towards your partner.

If you’re holding the disc in your right hand, then release the disc to the left side of your head.
If you’re holding the disc in your left hand, then release the disc to the right side of your head.

Throw & Go:

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

Pass the Pitch:

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

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
