Ultimate: Zig Zag Shuttle

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

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.

Start this exercise of to simply practice the forehand techniques at different throwing angles

OFTEN USED WITH...

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 teamâs area, award 1pt to the throwing team.

Throwing Skills

Split into groups of 3
One disc per group
Form a triangle, 5 metres from each athlete
Players must fake the pass anticlockwise to one partner, and then use the forehand throw to the other partner

Throwing Skills

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

Throwing Skills

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
