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.

Japanese teams use narrow space and quick throws as a way to nullify the size disadvantage they tend to have when playing internationally. They also seek to maximise the advantages gained by motion, looking to attack into areas that are difficult to defend and which make it difficult for defenders to prevent continuation.

Since throwers can not move, receivers must. This introduces simple movement and throwing to space.

As a teams understanding of ultimate develops, they should look to use all areas of the pitch - namely forward, backwards and sideways. This game uses a short, but wide, pitch to encourage side to side play due to two scoring areas for each team on opposite sides of the pitch.

The idea here is to get three or more cutters working together, all running the Triangle Cutting patterns, to provide lots of options to throw to in a short space of time.
