Across a circle. Begin with one Frisbee, then introduce two

Pass and move/follow practices

b)  As above but in a triangle or rectangle with 2 players on a corner

X

X X

Pass and follow to the receiver [one disc between 5]

Gradually extend the length of passes and be accurate

NOW Complete the partner-assessment check list for throwing [organized by skills coach]. Each player has 5 throws to a team-mate standing about 10-15 years away.

Team Formal Competition

Equipment Managers

Divide the sports hall into three columns marked by cones/discs

Column 1 / Column 2 / Column 3

Passing Accuracy Test [‘Disc Golf’]:

Team Leaders number your team 1-5 (one person will go twice) or 1-6

Staring from an agreed boundary line at the same end, the task is to try and get the disc to land completely inside the hoop in no more than 3 attempts [Par for the hole]. The disc cannot rest ON the hoop. If this happens then an additional attempt is required.

There will be three holes with the hoop placed

a)  close, [about a third of the way along the column]

b)  mid-way and [just over half way]

c)  full length [the full length]

Numbers 1, 2 & 3 will compete in the respective columns first

Numbers 4, 5, 6 will then compete in the respective columns

If the Frisbee goes completely outside the column one shot is added and the next throw is made from where the disc crossed the boundary line.

A non-competing member from each team will over-see the completion of the score-sheet [in folders] and individuals will only officiate and score when their team-mate is playing. Any disagreements must be managed by the non-competing members [if a dispute cannot be resolved then the League Commissioner must be consulted]

Spectators must stand behind the start line and must observe good sport-like behaviour to both their team and other teams.

Team-based Practice

Led by Skills Coach(es) and equipment manager

c) Run, cut, pass, receive

X X (pass) X

Run forward, and receive ‘pass’ [repeat right and left side]

Progression: Run and cut [inner, outer, run-stop, run-stop and run again]

-pass ahead of the runner at a ‘catchable’ height

c)  In a rectangle play 2v1 ‘or 3v1 [with coach coaching] keep disc’: passing lanes, use pivot, pass and move stay one arm length from person in possession of the Frisbee. Progression: Consider only allowing passes below head height

Development: Place a hoop at an end and try to get the disc to a person in the hoop. Include a goal-line that the defenders cannot cross

d)  4v2 or 3v2 half court to 2 hoops

1. If drop Frisbee then begin again from the half way line
2. Aim it to pass to a person with at least one foot in the hoop who catches cleanly
3. Change the 2 defenders after 5 attempts

When you have finished use the planning sheet in your folder to review the session to date and make a plan for team improvement by completing the columns.
