Phase: Warm Up

Set up two lines of spots with enough space between them to throw the frisbees. Students pair up with 1 frisbee between them and face their partner on the spot that is opposite them. Coaches will instruct students on which pass to practice. Backhand Throw - Four fingers under the frisbee and thumb on top, pretend the frisbee is a plate with food on it and you must keep the food from falling off (refer to video for detail). Forehand throw - Same as the backhand grip except only the first two fingers grip the bottom (refer to video for detail).

Once students have mastered this and now passes are looking more accurate, the class will be timed (1 or 2mins) during a passing COMPETITION. For every pass caught, pairs can add that as 1 point toward their total. However if a pass is dropped, the pair can not count that as a point. Pairs do not start again if a pass is dropped, they simply pick up the Frisbee and continue passing. Once the time is up, pairs will add up their score and the class will reveal their score to see who made the most amount of passes.
