Try to get your body behind it whenever possible. Practice catching with both hands on top. Throwers, make the receiver work for these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>One Hand Catches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Catch with your right hand for 10 throws in a row, regardless of where the thrower sends the disc. Then do your left hand. As a thrower, start easy, then make it more difficult for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The aim is not to encourage lazy one-handed catching, but to ensure we have practiced, so that when we are at full stretch, catching with one hand is not uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Late Eye Pickups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Throw to a partner that is standing either eyes-closed or facing away from you. About a third of the way through the flight of the disc, say \u2018Now\u2019 so that your partner can find the disc quickly and catch it. Give progressively less time to find the disc each throw. Vary throw shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Receiver runs away from the thrower, looking back over their shoulder. Thrower puts a high disc up out to the side they are looking over. Receiver attacks the disc and goes up for a high, one-handed catch. Repeat on other side, with other hand. Vary the shape and width of the throw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Practice Catching High Discs<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"lightweight-accordion has-text-color has-background\"><details><summary class=\"lightweight-accordion-title\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background:#222828;\"><span>Additional Resources<\/span><\/summary><div class=\"lightweight-accordion-body\" style=\"border-color:#222828;\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rowan McDonnell 30 Minute Throwing Routine | Ultimate Frisbee Training\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rpqT8J6BzvY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rowan McDonnell Throwing Routine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Kung-Fu Throwing Activities:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/skydmagazine.com\/2012\/02\/kung-fu-throwing\/\">https:\/\/skydmagazine.com\/2012\/02\/kung-fu-throwing\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\">Zen Throwing Activities:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/skydmagazine.com\/2011\/11\/wiggins-zen-throwing-routine\/\">https:\/\/skydmagazine.com\/2011\/11\/wiggins-zen-throwing-routine\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Video guide to Zen Throwing:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLezzWvSJAw_Y9WqN4bE1v6EzatYqh2d0M\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLezzWvSJAw_Y9WqN4bE1v6EzatYqh2d0M<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\"><strong>Tuesday Tips &#8211; Improving your throwing<\/strong>:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultiworld.com\/2018\/10\/09\/tuesday-tips-top-tips-improving-throws-presented-spin\/?fbclid=IwAR07qjFNkqBkuVgatVMtLFP_JSXZDIA99JLcbXv2iwCi8RIHbkS4LaReQPg\">https:\/\/ultiworld.com\/2018\/10\/09\/tuesday-tips-top-tips-improving-throws-presented-spin\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Other:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Creative throwing: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1f_3waJFNGo&amp;ab_channel=RowanMcDonnell\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1f_3waJFNGo&amp;ab_channel=RowanMcDonnell<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Description: <\/strong><br \/>\nYour throwing practice this week needs to be using your current throwing mechanics, we are aiming to develop consistency and confidence throwing within a range of release points ahead of the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-throwing-challenge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":475,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460\/revisions\/475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playultimate.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
