Frisbee
UNIT WORD WALL:
Forehand Throw: Students form a "V" with their middle and pointer finger and place it under the frisbee, to release the disk students flick their wrist forward while letting go with their thumb. Backhand Throw: Students place their thumb on top and their other three fingers holding the edge of the disc. Students bring the disc towards the body by curling the throwing arm making sure to keep the disc level. Extend the arm and snap at the wrist. Pancake Catch: Students catch the frisbee using one hand on top and one hand on the bottom. |

Skill Development: Students will practice throwing the frisbee using the forehand and backhand throw. They will learn to catch the frisbee using one hand, two hands or the most common "pancake catch."
P.E. Games & Drills: Ultimate Scooter Frisbee: Students break into two teams and play a modified version of Ultimate Frisbee. Every student is on scooters. Students try to score points by throwing the frisbee into a goal at the end of the gym. Students must pass the frisbee three times before attempting to score a goal but may move as fas as they can on their scooter. Teams are evenly matched so students use a 1 on 1 defense. They may not touch the student with the frisbee but may intercept it if the opportunity arises. When a goal is scored the other team gains possession. Students must follow the rules of scooter safety. |
