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.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Ask students to review rules of Captain Frisbee. What was most challenging about the game?
Ask students the main points needed when passing a Frisbee.
