3+
A 1-on-1 catching competition that gives participants opportunities to practice catching high discs under pressure while avoiding contact.
3+
Breaking down the skills required to be successful at aerial contests prioritises reading the disc and boxing out before adding jumping.
3+
Learning to "go to" the disc is an important step for beginners. This drill emphasises the importance of "attacking the disc"; running all the way through the catch, to secure possession.
2+
One of the simplest movements in ultimate, and a frequent option in any offence
6+
Dish moves can be used to move the disc to the break side without ever directly breaking the mark
1+
A series of actions to get beginners familiar, comfortable and confident with discs and catching. No prior experience with a disc is necessary, and with a series of built-in progressions, participants will soon be confident making and catching short passes.
6+
Using a basic rule set, and an expansion from the simplified rules, teams play games in a manner closer to the full rule set. This rule set, pitch dimensions and player numbers can be gradually expanded as ability increases.
6+
A simplified game to introduce the objectives of ultimate as well as basic rules.
6+
Extra rules in a match to encourage marking a thrower in order to limit their options and to encourage throwers and receivers to use space available.
6+
A fun game that will help you to keep kids engaged in a race to the finish!
3+
Practice your pop passes and lead passes while chaining together multiple short throws and improving your timing
10+
An exercise in keeping possession and moving the disc away from defenders. Two large teams keep their running score in a race to complete 100 passes.
3+
This drill is simply about running, taking position and competing in the air. In the original drill, players received 100 points for each successful sky, and the first to 500 won, hence the name. Running 500s has far better applications on field than the static version, and is safer too
7+
A lighthearted game to practice catching under pressure while also joking with other participants.
2+
Throwing and catching to practice technique and expand range.
3+
Different throws are more useful in different circumstances, so you'll need to practice lots of different scenarios rather than just throwing back and forth all the time. Trying to use just four types of throw with four different reception areas results in 16 different throws being practiced in this one drill.
4+
When cutting deep it’s critical not to set off too early. Doing so often results in clogging up the deep space, reducing the thrower’s options. Learn how to time your cuts with this drill.
4+
Defenders can often read what a cutter wants to do in advance to re-position themselves to deny an option. When cutting, it is therefore good to be able to make split-second decisions about where you want to cut.
3+
A great warmup drill that helps give lots of repetitions and teaches the idea of catching the disc from one direction, turning to face another person, and quickly swinging the disc. This is useful for bypassing defenders.
