Sports Games

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ultimate Frisbee. Your goal is play a game of Ultimate Frisbee.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into two teams.
• I will decide who will start with the Frisbee first.
• If you have the Frisbee:
  • You can pass it to anyone on your team, except the student that passed it to you.
  • You must keep one foot planted on the ground (pivot foot).
• The defensive team is trying to knock down or intercept the Frisbee, but must stand three feet away from the student that is passing.
• If the pass is incomplete (hits the ground) or goes out-of-bounds, the defensive team gets possession of the Frisbee where it landed (even if the defensive team hit it last).
• If your team makes a catch in the end zone, you get one point.
• Once a team scores, the opposing team starts with the Frisbee the next round.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach: Increase the number of courts or substitutes, based on class size.
• Approach: To increase class participation, enforce a rule, in which teams can score after five passes. 
• Discussion: Ask students to share what Frisbee skills they saw being used in this game.
