How to accurately throw a Frisbee

You've probably seen Ultimate Frisbee and wonder how those players are able to throw the Frisbee with such power and accuracy. It may seem like it's a natural talent but it is not. Throwing a Frisbee accurately merely requires a small amount of hand eye coordination, which you already have, and a little bit of patience.

Learning how to throw a Frisbee is not as intuitive as learning to throw a baseball, which is why learning how to throw on your own can prove to be a very frustrating experience. What I'm offering is a step-by-step guide that will teach you the physics of Frisbees, and the physical movements that will produce accurate throws. You will not be able to produce Sportscenter highlights, but you will be able to enjoy throwing a disc in the park.

With every skill we will start with the very basics. The class will cover a few concepts:

How a Frisbee flies and what makes it stable.
How to correctly hold the Frisbee (backhand grip).
How to generate spin.
How to release the Frisbee.
How to coordinate the arm motion.
How to coordinate the footwork.
How to throw to a moving target.

By the end of the workshop you will be able to throw a backhand with the correct technique to a moving target around 20 yards away. Once you've mastered the correct technique, you can practice the skill on your own and improve your throwing accuracy and throwing distance. I am only here to make sure that you start learning the skill in the right way.
