Circle Throw – Five to six group members run in a circle in the same direction tossing the Frisbee around the circle. Players must make sure not to take more then two steps with the Frisbee, throw ahead of their target so they need not break stride. Change directions after ten completions.

Guard Drill – Groups of four work together. Two pairs approximately twenty to thirty yards apart. Group A will start off as the defenders and group B will start off as the offensive players. The offensive players will try to move the Frisbee back and forth from one another with the defender no closer then arms length. The offensive player with the Frisbee may only take two steps while in possession of the Frisbee. After three completions the groups should switch roles.
