Use scatter formation; ask students to change directions from time to time to maintain spacing.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Review Forward Passing. Practice some of the following activities:

Throw the Frisbee at different levels to partner.
Throw a curve–to the left, right and upward. Vary the speed of the curve.
Throw a bounce pass–try a low and a high pass.
Throw the disc like a boomerang. Must throw at a steep angle into the wind.
Throw the Frisbee into the air, run and catch. Increase the distance of the throw.
Throw the Frisbee through a hoop held by a partner.

TEACHING HINTS:

Scatter and practice passes and catches.

To finish, have students switch to a different shape to pass in another shape around the cones to each other.

Captain Frisbee

INSTRUCTIONS:

Line up in groups of six facing a Frisbee placed 5 yards in front of the group. Players should be about an arm’s length apart. On “go!” the player on the left (Captain Frisbee) runs out and picks up the disc. He passes it to the player on the far right, who passes it back. Then to the next farthest player and so forth until the end of the line is reached. When the last player catches the disc, they run to the opposite end of the line to become the new Captain Frisbee and the previous captain runs to the right-hand end of the line to become the first receiver.

If a player must retrieve a disc, they have to return to their place before throwing the return pass.

TEACHING HINTS:

Make groups of six 6 players; Each group has one Frisbee and lines up facing forward toward the Frisbee on the ground.

First person in line is Captain Frisbee.

Continue until the original captain runs out the front again and the whole team sits down to finish.
