Change directions at times to keep students spaced out properly.

Frisbee Short Distance Throwing Accuracy

TEACHING HINTS:

Students work with a partner. Space partners about 15 ft apart with a hoop beside them. The goal is to softly throw the Frisbee into the hoop target. Partners throw back and forth to each other’s hoop target.

 

Increase or decrease distance as necessary depending on the skill of students.
