Step Back Challenge

Setup

  • Cones or a marked line to designating a central line
  • One disc per two participants

Functions

  • Players start standing either side of the central line facing their partner
  • A disc is passed between the two players.
  • If the frisbee is caught by the receiver, both players take a step back
  • If the frisbee is dropped, both take a step forward
  • The winning pair is the one that has retreated the furthest

CHANGE IT ideas

  • Coaching: teach correct catching technique, introduce pivoting for longer throws
  • Game rules: (Harder) if a pass is incomplete, both players return to the central line. (Harder) restrict the type of throw (eg: forehands only)
  • Time: run multiple short rounds (eg: 60 seconds)
