Double Disc Court

Setup

Six cones for every four participants. Each “court” needs three boxes side-by-side, each with sides around 8-10m long.
Two discs for every “court”
Two teams of two players on every “court”

Objective

Throw a disc that lands in the opposing team’s area without being caught, or have the opposing team be holding two discs at once.

Area

Show participants the court layout – each team has an area (outer boxes), with a no-go zone in between (middle box)

Functions

Each team stands in their own area and holds a disc. One of the non-throwing players gives the start signal to serve (Ready? Two, one, THROW!) and each team throws their disc simultaneously
After the serve, both teams try to catch the disc from the other team and throw it back again
Each next throw must be made at the position where the disc was caught, or near where it went out of bounds. A player is not allowed to walk around their area with the disc in hand
There are three ways to score points
- When the disc lands in a team’s area and stays there, the team that threw it scores a point.
- When a disc thrown lands, rolls or slides out of bounds, the opposing team scores a point.
- When a team has both discs in their hands simultaneously, the opposing team scores two points.
After either team scores, play restarts with a serve
Play to either a time cap or score target

Safety

CHANGE IT ideas

Game rules: if players struggle to catch consistently, remove both single-point scoring rules and just play with the two-point score, allowing players to pick up discs off the ground to throw
Inclusion: regularly rotate teams to new opponents
