The 3 Man Drill

Start with 2 players facing each other about 20ft or 6m apart. One of the players has the disc. The third player marks the player with the disc and starts the stall count. When the disc is thrown the person marking the disc runs to the other side and repeats this.

​

Game: Assign point values for accuracy. Give more points for making an accurate break throw. Give points to the player for making a block.

​

What does this teach? Marking a player that just received the disc, communicating the stall count in a loud voice at a reasonable speed, throwing a disc with the pressure of a mark, making accurate throws.

 

The "Come to" Drill
Players required: 6

Make two lines facing each other about 20ft or 6m apart. After the disc is thrown to the next person making the v cut in, the thrower clears through the middle and gets in line at the stack on the opposite side.

Game: Count off how many complete passes made in a row. Have players all call out the total amount of complete passes. If there is a drop, the count goes back to 0.

 

What does this teach? Cutting from the stack, how to time your cuts, clearing immediately to avoid clogging the lane, throwing to space for a player that is running, catching a disc while moving, running through a disc to make a catch(never stop running).

Brady's Box Drill
Players required: 2

Mark four corners of an imaginary square with cones about 3m x 3m apart. Two players line up along any one side of the square. One player will have the disc. The other person makes a diagonal cut through the middle of the square while the person with the disc throws a leading pass to the cone the player is running to. Just before the disc is caught, the thrower cuts through the middle and a leading pass is made to him. Occasionally the thrower can make a fake to signal the cutter to change direction from the middle of the cut back tot he cone he left from. In this case, the disc will change from a backhand to a forehand depending on which cone he is running to. You should always be making the throw that would naturally go to the outside lines of the square.

 

Game: Try to get 10 completed handler cuts in a row without any drops. Randomly make fakes to switch directions. compete with another two players doing the same drill.

 

What does this teach? Handler cutting, cutting up line, fakes when throwing, making leading passes to throwers, cut timing.
