This game helps participants figure out how to alter their throws to space at different distances. To develop this skill, overthrowing is better than underthrowing, as it is better to practice trying to get the disc to sit into space for someone to run onto.
3+
If the initial lateral cut isn't available, turning to cut deep is a fantastic clearing cut as well as a viable open to generate power position.
3+
This pattern is a staple in ultimate, and worth practicing. Often referred to as a ‘V’ cut due to the sharp change of direction.
3+
This drill provides a second cutting option if {B} is not able to get open on their first cut.
6+
Scoring is much easier playing 2 on 2 than 7 on 7. The idea of this drill is to score efficiently and cleanly without resorting to 7 on 7 by making use of momentum and overloading the defence.
3+
A spectacular throw popularised by the Japanese team Buzz Bullets, this throw involves throwing diagonally across the field, and against the mark
3+
This is a deep throw that tails across to the break side, ensuring that the flight path never comes close to the defender
3+
This drill aims to give players the opportunity to see how far into the deep space they can allow an offensive player to get before having to reposition. Often in a game it can be helpful for the deep defender to push in, in order to decrease usable space for the offence and increase pressure, but this can never be at the expense of leaving a player unguarded in the deep space. This drill helps players to work out how far they can be, without that player being 'unguarded'.

This pattern is ideal for throwing continuation down the break side channel after breaking the mark, or for targeting break side deep space
3+
This throw is used to hit a cutter who is isolated on the open side as they turn to cut away from the disc
3+
This pattern is used when throwing down the open side; angling the disc towards the receiver makes it difficult for the defender to make a play
5+
We're going to practice hucking in the context of an offensive bucket, moving the disc to the hucker via a dump & swing. Althought the swings seem unnecessary for the drill, in my experience the extra reps throwing swings are useful.
3+
This drill practices hucking in the context of breaking through the centre of a zone, generating power position and using a momentary gap in defensive coverage to attack deep space
3+
This pattern is a staple in ultimate, and worth practicing. Often referred to as a ‘V’ cut due to the sharp change of direction.
3+
This drill provides a second cutting option if {B} is not able to get open on their first cut.
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
3+
This throw is more difficult than it looks; throw early as the most often mistake is that the disc hangs too long
3+
This is ideal for practicing throwing continuation after breaking the mark
14+
A simple yet effective mechanism for generating and maintaining offensive flow
2+
Throwing to a player running directly away by using a curved flight path
2+
Throwing to a cutter running directly away using a flat pass

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+
Timing deep cuts is a vital part of being a good receiver; it rarely gets much attention but when you time your cuts correctly, throwing away becomes much easier (and you'll catch more goals!)
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.
4+
A simple combination of cuts that can be used to provide three throwing options - away, open side and break side - in quick succession.
3+
If the initial cut isn't available, turning to cut to the break side is a fantastic clearing cut. In this pattern, we add another option, a deep strike, which is ideal when cutting in isolation.
8+
This is a coordinated cutting pattern aimed at moving defenders to create an undefended away cut.
