Pre-requisite Skills: Catching Teaching Style: Direct Global Goal: Students will be able to learn the basic skills of throwing and catching a Frisbee so that they will be able to play ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee golf. NASPE Standards: Standard 2 Applies movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of motor Skills. Benchmarks: 9.2. Synthesize previously learned strategies into advanced game strategies. Example: Play team sports such as volleyball, basketball, soccer, softball, ultimate Frisbee, team handball, etc. Time Lesson Focus and Transitions/ EXTENSIONS/Applications (Introduction to Closure). Refinement/Cues Organization (Draw set-up) Lesson Objectives: Cognitive (); Affective (); Psychomotor/ Fitness (3) Assessment for each objective must be included Set Induction: Teacher will have a pie pan in hand and will ask the students what type of activity or game they think that they could play with this pie pan. Frisbee is right. Introduction: Does anyone know how Frisbee was started? The Frisbie Baking Company of Bridgeport Connecticut would make pies for college students at the local universities. The students would eat their pies and then discovered that these pie pans made perfect discs to throw and have fun with in the yard of the universities. So today we are going to play with Frisbees and learn the backhand throw and the proper way to catch a Frisbee so that we can put those skills into use in a Affective: SWBAT find a partner and work well with that partner through the entirety of the class. Teacher observation.
game of ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee golf. When I say go I want you to get a partner and get one Frisbee for the two of you and spread ten feet apart from one another. Check for Understanding. GO! Transition: students will get a partner and a Frisbee and spread 0 feet apart from one another and wait for instructions. TP: We are first going to learn how to grip and make a backhand Frisbee throw. Grip the edge of the disc so that all your fingers are wrapped around the edge of the disc and your thumb lies along the top of the disc. Extend the throwing arm across your body and swing your arm away from your body, releasing the disc when your arm is about 5 degrees from your body with a snap of the wrist. At the same time, step forward with your right leg; you should complete your step and release the disc at approximately the same time. The power behind your throw should come mostly from wrist motion and partly from the movement of your arm. Make sure the disc stays level while you throw! Demonstrate. Check for understanding. Now I want both you and your partner to make 0 throws each using the backhand throw and when you are done I want you to put your Frisbee on the ground. Go! a. Fingers on edge b. Thump on top c. Extend d. Swing away e. Release at 5 f. Step and snap g. Follow through 3 A: Students will complete 0 backhand throws each. TP2: Now we are going to work on catching the Frisbee. I notice a few people had trouble catching the Frisbee during our first activity, so I am going to give you some pointers to
help you with catching a Frisbee. Watch the Frisbee as it nears you. Depending on who your partner is, the disc could be hurtling toward your head or lazily drifting its way to your vicinity. But speed matters none. Just keep your eye on it at all times. As it approaches, adjust your doant hand accordingly. If the Frisbee is arriving at chest height or higher, you'll want an overhanded pose. Here, you're thumb will be pointed downward while you fingers are aimed toward the sky. If the Frisbee enters below your sternum, you'll probably be more comfortable with an underhanded grab. Just rotate your hand so your fingers now point toward the ground. Either way, you'll want your palm facing out, aligned with the Frisbee. Let your hand move with the Frisbee. This may sound confusing, but it's easier than it seems. As the Frisbee enters your palm, let your hand "give" just a bit, pulling it gently back at the angle the Frisbee is flying. This will cushion the landing, allowing you to grab hold of it more comfortably. If you're hand is held in position too firmly, you could risk the Frisbee bouncing off the firm base of your palm. This is particularly true the faster the disc is traveling. Now I want you and your partner to take a few steps away from one another so that you are between 5 and 20 feet apart and work on catching and throwing using the backhand throw. Demonstrate. Check for Understanding. GO! h. Eye on Frisbee i. Doant hand j. Overhand pose for chest or higher k. Underhand for sternum and below l. Move hand with Frisbee A2: Students are going to spread 5-20 feet apart and work on throwing with the backhand toss and working on catching the Frisbee with techniques that I described to them.
2 E: Now with your partner step back even farther to 20-25 feet apart and throw the Frisbee using the backhand toss and catching it with the cues I have given you. I want you to see how many times you can catch the Frisbee in a row between you and your partner without it hitting the ground. Go! 5 A3: Students will throw the Frisbee to one another and keep track of how many consecutive throws and catches they can make without the Frisbee hitting the ground. Psychomotor: SWBAT throw and catch a Frisbee with their partner a imum of 0 consecutive times without it hitting the ground. Transition: Students will put away their Frisbees and be given a number by the teacher. Teacher will verbally check with the students to see if they were to meet the objective. 3 TP3: We will now be playing a game of ultimate Frisbee. I know many of you have already played ultimate Frisbee before but we are quickly going to go over the rules to the game. The game will start by the odd number team throwing to the even number team (like a football kickoff). The team that has the Frisbee has 0 seconds to throw the Frisbee. You can throw the Frisbee in any direction. You can not run with the Frisbee. Once the Frisbee hit the ground or goes out of bounds it goes to the other team. The defense can not make any contact with the offense. The offense can call a foul if hit on a throw. Check for understanding. Ok team and team 2 will play. Team 3 and team will play. And team 5 and team 6 will play. Go.
0 A: Students will play ultimate Frisbee working on their passing and catching skills. Closure: What are some cues for throwing a backhand pass? What are some cues for catching? Did you feel like you got a good workout playing ultimate Frisbee? Next time we will work on some different types of Frisbee throws that can be used while playing ultimate Frisbee and Frisbee golf. Cognitive: SWBAT list three cues for throwing and catching a Frisbee when asked by the teacher. Teacher will verbally ask students as a class during the closure.
