Is the space marked?
- The throwing line
- Two cones 10 strides apart
- End zones
Two throwers 6 m apart and a marker.
Three minutes to get warm.
Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.
- As the marker, stand slightly to the thrower's backhand side, blocking that throw.
- Leave the forehand side open and count aloud.
- As the thrower, fake to the open side, then pivot and throw to the blocked side.
Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.
- The marker blocks one side (for example the backhand) and leaves the other open.
- The thrower fakes and pivots to throw past.
- Swap after five tries.
- The team agrees which side everyone forces.
How much: 5 tries each role
Force one side
Force one side
The rules
A small game where the whole team forces the same side; a point for each turnover won.
- Before each point, the defending team calls the side it will force: "force backhand" or "force forehand"
- Play small ultimate (First games and the rules (b3) rules)
- Every marker blocks the called side
Fair play: A team with a grown-up forces the side the other team chooses.
- Points
- 1 point for each catch in the end zone; the defending team scores 1 point for each turnover it wins.
- Fouls
- A point to the attacking team: a marker blocking the wrong side; two markers on one thrower; contact with the thrower
- Win
- The first team to 5 points.
- 1
- 3
- 5
The thrower breaks the mark 3 of 10 times.
End on one that works. If it was hard today, finish with the easier version.
Well played.
