Objective: Ultimate Frisbee scrimmage

Frisbee Unit | Level 35

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to play an Ultimate Frisbee scrimmage.

IMPORTANCE
Scrimmaging a game is important because it teaches the rules and procedures of a full game.

VOCABULARY
Scrimmage: a simulated game.

GROWFIT RULES

• The GrowFit rules are a simple, modified version of Ultimate Frisbee. If a rule is not mentioned below we will not be following it.
• Before the game begins, a person from each team will flip the Frisbee. Heads, or the top of the Frisbee, will determine which team will begin with the Frisbee.
• Each team will begin in their end zone.
• If a student has the Frisbee:
  • He/she can only pivot.
  • He/she can pass the Frisbee in any direction to a teammate.
  • He/she has 10 seconds to pass the Frisbee once a stall count begins by an opposing team member who is standing 10 feet away.
• The defensive team gains possession of the Frisbee if the pass is thrown out-of-bounds, intercepted, dropped, or not passed within the stall time.
• There is no contact in the game. A foul occurs when another player initiates contact. The play will resume with the offensive team’s possession of the Frisbee.
• A point is scored when a team completes a pass in their opponent’s end zone.

PRACTICE

1. Move onto skills game- Ultimate Frisbee

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Challenger. In this game, the objective is to challenge the all-star team in a scrimmage. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of three.  
• I will choose one team to begin as the all-stars.
• Everyone else will form a single-file line.
• The all-stars will compete against the other teams until a challenging team wins.
• Before the game begins, each team will start in their end zone. One person from each team will flip the Frisbee to determine which team will begin with the Frisbee.
• When I say, “GO!” teams can begin playing.
• The first team to score a goal wins the match and will stay on the field to challenge the next team in line.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Depending on class size, add additional fields using cones as goals.
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • What is the most important rule in an ultimate frisbee game?
  • What rule did you find most difficult to follow and why?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing End Zones. In this game, the objective is to scrimmage a game and score in one of the end zones. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams.
• Before the game begins, one student from each team will flip the Frisbee. The team landing on heads will begin with the Frisbee.  
• If you have the Frisbee:
  • You have 10 seconds to pass to anyone on your team, except the student that passed to you.
  • You must keep one foot planted on the ground (pivot foot).
• The defensive team is trying to knock down or intercept the Frisbee, but must stand five feet away from the student that is passing.
• If the pass is incomplete (hits the ground) or goes out-of-bounds, the defensive team gets possession of the Frisbee where it landed (even if the defensive team hit it last).
• Once a team scores, the opposing team starts with the Frisbee the next round.
• Teams will put a short cone into each end zone they make a complete pass into.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach: 
  • Increase the number of courts or substitutes, based on class size.   
  • To decrease difficulty, a team can score a point if they are able to throw the Frisbee into the end zone, instead of making a complete pass.
  • To increase class participation, enforce a rule, in which teams can score after five passes. 
• ELL Accommodation: 
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections.
• SpEd Accommodation: 
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • What is the most important rule in an ultimate frisbee game?
  • What rule did you find most difficult to follow and why?
