Technique:

When holding the disc, the thumb must create a straight line with the entire arm. The easiet way to do this is have students place a thumb on top of the disc, fingers grip the lip underneath and place arm beside body pointing down toward the ground which will create the straight line. Students will bend elbow and raise forearm to belly button height into the "ready position". Ensure bodies are in a side on positon, neck swivelled looking foward in direction of throwing. Extend/staighten elbow reaching back behind body as far as possibe to generate maximum power, then pull arm forward maintaining a straight line with throwing action. Avoid rotation through the hips but create a "rock n roll' action with legs/knees when releasing the disc. 

Have students pair up with one another in the class and line them up along spots placed on the ground (one behind the other) in a straight line with enough throwing space in between each. The coach will count down from 3 and call "release" to inform students to throw the disc. When all students have had their turn, the whistle will be blown. Students that had their turn will move to the back whilst their partner will run out and retrieve their disc. Once all students are stood on the spot awaiting their turn, the coach will count down from 3 repeating the process. 

PROGRESSIONS:

- Place a marker (tall cone) to visibly show students where disc that has travelled the longest in the air before hitting the ground as a reference point to beat.
