ultimate frisbee
description
The Ultimate Frisbee unit is a fast-paced entertaining unit that will definitely makes the students sweat. Ultimate Frisbee is an up-and-coming game that has been growing in popularity over the past decade or so. Once thought of as a leisure activity, Frisbee is now being turned into one of the most athletically demanding sports out there. The students will first learn the basics of the sport by practicing throwing and catching the Frisbee from a stationary and moving position to a stationary and moving target. As they demonstrate proficiency at these two skills, they will be able to progress towards playing in larger games. Rules will be taught as students complete practice tasks. These skills will act as the foundation for more complex skills that will be taught during the Middle School Ultimate Frisbee unit.
