In anticipation of the Daville V. Lumberyard showdown that never was 🙁 , we ran 3 different frisbee drills today after a 15 min COP session. COP was your standard warmups and dynamic stretches with 30 Merkins thrown in, followed by a two lap “breakaway” sprints on the track. First 300 M is a standard run, with the final 100 straightaway dead sprint, rinse and repeat. Somehow, P Diddy’s baby oil became the focus of conversation in the midst of all of this, and now we know Yardsale has a great disc toss thanks to his lean and well oiled forearms …. and there may or may not be any connection to baby oil.
[ Ultimate Drills ]
Warm up Circle – pax stand 40 feet apart in a large circle and just practice backhand and forehand moving around each node of the circle. Clockwise then counterclockwise.
Defense Circle – pax stay in the same positions but now you are trying to “skip” the man immediately next to you by throwing over or past him to the next Node in the circle. Man in between is on Defense and collects a point for each interception he makes (catch preferred). Points can be redeemed for prizes at the Putt-Putt counter.
Red Solo Cup Precision – Use cones, or if all you have in your house is Red solo cups, create an elongated diamond in the field about 50 or 60 yard (two cones at far N and S point, and then a 15 Y wide line of two cones in the middle of the field. One N side is the thrower, the S side is the catcher. Split the group in half so you have 3 and 3 even on N and S side. Catcher begins by running a route, encouraged to juke, and the thrower’s goal is to make contact with a direct pass roughly at the half way mark (2 middle cones) without throwing outside of the cone range (no hooks or splices.)
3 on 2 round robin – With a smaller pax count, you can go to a soccer goal and have two defenders take on 3 offenders. Start at the 50 Y mark and get a few passes in while the defenders try to cover you. Work you fancy magic to score a disc in the back of the net, goal post does not count. The offense gets 3 attempts every round (you may score 3 goals, or zero) and then switch the Defense to Offense for three rounds on their side. Keep track of score as well as “attempt 1 of 3” etc, keep switching until someone pulls a hamstring.
Announcements:
Memorial Day convergence is around the corner.
Prayers
Many pax are attending college graduations for their youngin’s, all grown up now, and prayers for parking, traffic, patience, family joy, and saving the environment from thousands of rogue balloons released into the atmosphere.
