Appendix ELesson PlansGeneral Notes: While we encourage you to use your judgment when it comes to designing the progressionsand lesson plans that you will implement with your students, here are some basic suggestions:• Ease the fear. Some kids are afraid of the Frisbee or simply believe that they can’t catch orthrow one. By starting with the simple catching exercises and then short range throws, thesestudents will develop some confidence.• Play Ultimate as soon and as often as you can. Kids love to play and this becomes a greatincentive for them to work on their skills.• Skills and Drills. Devote a little time each day before playing Ultimate to teach some newskills and/or practice those recently learned.• Spirit Spirit Spirit. When competition gets too heated, remind students that they’re just learningthe game. By emphasizing having fun and playing with good spirit, everyone will feelsuccessful.Day 1• Frisbee Fluency (pancake catches): Basic Catch and Release, Hors devours, Spin-aroo, Spinaroowith a partner• Introduce Backhand• Play Dog• If time, play short game of Ultimate (with a beanbag if warranted)Day 2• Frisbee Fluency (one handed catches): Catch and Release, Hot Potato, One Handed Potato• Review Backhand• Practice Backhand: Playing Catch or Circle Game• Introduce Curving the Backhand• Play UltimateDay 3• Play Disc Golf• Play UltimateDay 4• Two person Fluency: Catch and Release, Hors devours, Flying Saucer• Introduce Forehand• Play Catch, Four Person Catch• Play Dog• Play UltimateDay 5• Review Forehand• Teach Curving the Forehand• Practice Backhand/Forehand Pivot26
