Key Objectives
What can we do to help when we are on offence but don't have the frisbee? (keep moving, keep space) What can we do when defence is present and we have the frisbee? (pivot, keep looking in all areas, make decisions quickly)

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.
In this game there is one team of attackers, made up of 4 students and another team, the defenders, who have 2 students. The attackers start with the frisbee at one end of the playing area and as a team must try and score a point, by catching the frisbee in an end zone at the other end of the playing area. The defenders are trying to stop the attackers from scoring and if they manage to steal the frisbee, then the defenders will get a point for their team. If the defenders steal the frisbee OR if the attackers score a basket, one of the defenders will carry the frisbee back and place it on the ground at the starting spot. When the coach blows the whistle the two defenders will swap and become attackers. One more round will be completed so that each student has had a turn at being both the attackers and defenders.
Set up a rectangle shaped field with endzones at each end. One team lines up on each side of the field. The coach will call out a number between 3-6, and that is the number of people that run in from the front of the line to play. The offence scores a point by catching the frisbee in the opposite end zone. The frisbee may be thrown in any direction but players must not run with it. A person who has the frisbee has 5 seconds to throw it. If the frisbee touches the ground, the team who didn't touch the frisbee last will have possession. No physical contact is allowed, and all players must be 2 metres away from the person holding the frisbee at all times. Once a point is scored or if too much time is being taken, the players go to the back of their team line.
If the frisbee hits the ground, possession goes to the team that did not touch it last. This means that the defence can not simply hit the frisbee down but instead has to cleanly intercept for a change in possession.
