Objective: Throw while being defended

Frisbee Unit | Level 29

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to throw while being defended.

IMPORTANCE
Throwing while being defended is important because it is necessary when playing in a competitive environment. If you are able to successfully throw while being defended your team will keep possession of the Frisbee.

VOCABULARY
Defender: a player whose task it is to protect the team's goal.

When throwing while being defended, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Move onto Skills Game – Roadrunner.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Roadrunner. In this game, the objective is to throw while being defended to make a pass into the end zone. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams – roadrunners and coyotes, using flags to tell who you are.
• Three students from each team will go at a time.
• The roadrunners will line up 15 feet in front of the defense and will start with the Frisbee.
• The coyotes will line up on the baseline.
• When I say, “GO!” both the roadrunners and coyotes will leave at the same time. The roadrunners will pass the Frisbee to one another to try to make a catch in the end zone.
• If the roadrunners make a catch in the end zone, they get one point.
• If the coyotes block a pass, make an interception, the Frisbee goes out-of-bounds or touches the ground, the play is dead and coyotes get one point.
• We will begin a new game when a team scores a point. Roadrunners and coyotes will switch roles.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Divide teams equally based on athletic ability.
  • Consider playing on a half-field, depending on student’s endurance and athletic ability.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • Why would you want to use a fake while throwing with a defender?
  • How would you rate your ability to throw the frisbee while being defended?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 4 Way Frisbee. In this game, the objective is to throw while being defended and move the Frisbee into one of the goals.    

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class 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 person 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).
• A team scores a point if they are able to throw the Frisbee into a goal (two tall cones).
• 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.   
  • Increase or decrease the size of the goals based on a class’s athletic ability.
  • To increase class participation, enforce a rule, in which teams can score after five passes. 
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • Why would you want to use a fake while throwing with a defender?
  • How would you rate your ability to throw the frisbee while being defended?
