Planning your sessions

Each UV session plan runs in the following structure

  • Introduction
  • Warm-Up
  • Skills
  • Activity
  • Extra Skills/Activity
  • Rules Chat or Strat (Strategy) Chat
  • Play Ultimate!
  • Finish Up

The time you dedicate to each section will depend on the duration of the session.

You should plan ahead by reading the session plan and writing down how much time you wish to spend on each section.

At least one-third of the total session time should be taken up by playing ultimate.

Extra Skills/Activities should only be used if your session time is one hour or longer.

Here are some suggested breakdowns of time for different session lengths.

Be prepared to be flexible – your group might not find some parts engaging, so you can finish them early and add more time to play ultimate.
