Connect to Utah State Standard: Standard 5 Objective 1 C Work to improve physical fitness and motor skills.

Learning Objectives:

Cognitive- Students will understand how catching will contribute to effective game play.

Affective- Students will enjoy the game of Frisbee and doing well.

Psychomotor- Students will catch and throw consistently.

Safety Issues: Don’t throw the Frisbee at each other.

Student grouping for each activity: The students will be separated into their pre assigned squads.

Technical Description of the skills:
First Drill: The students will be separated into their squads. They will be in a circle and just pass to one another. Their goal is to pass it and catch it consistently. This will help them develop team work. After they have had time to pass I will add another squad to their group. Each squad will continue to pass to only their squad members. This will help them unite with their team and to work on their offensive skills.

Second drill: The students will be in lines and they will work with a partner to get to the other end of the field. They will have to pass it as a give and go without dropping the Frisbee. See diagram below.

Verbal Cues: Point, Follow through, and lean back and then forward.

Learning Experiences:
Introduction- We will go through our warm up and I will let squad 6 choose how to do the warm up. We will then go into the first drill and take as long as we need to make sure we can pass and catch consistently with our teammates.

Closure- Ask them what they liked and what was hard or easy about these drills.

Assessments: I will have to look at each squad and see who needs help catching or throwing. By now they should be able to pass the Frisbee with ease to their teammates. Or we may need more time to practice just catching and passing.

Follow up suggestions: If they are ready for game play then go over the rules with them.

Reference: none.

Diagram of learning environment and equipment set up:



Red Dots= Squad 1
Blue Dots= Squad 2
Orange Circle= Squad 1’s Frisbee
Pink Circle= Squad 2’s Frisbee
Black Lines= Throwing Path

Once the teams have had experience playing with their squad members I will add them together. They will be in a bigger circle but still need to pass to their own teammates. It is important to have different colored Frisbees so it will be easier to remember who is in their squad.



Purple Dots= Squad 3
Green Dots=Squad 4
Orange Circle= Frisbee
Solid Black Lines= Running paths
Slashed Black Lines= Throwing Paths

This is a give and go drill. The students will need to pass the Frisbee ahead of the other person and that person needs to run a head to catch the Frisbee. The need to do it with accuracy then speed.
