Points to Remember

Just to re-emphasize a couple of points:

Quick, accurate movement of the disc is essential for the offense. It keeps defenses off balance and out of position, and creates opportunities for the offense.

If someone is open, throw it to them!

If someone is open breakside, throw it to them! Do not say "I couldn't make that throw, or the mark was there". You need to learn to make the break mark throws, practice them.

Play FAST, but do not rush! Ulti is a fast, transition game. We need to take advantage of turnovers, before the other team has a chance to set. We need to move the disc right away on pulls, with a set string or play. We are going to be a fit team, that uses our fitness and speed of play to run other teams down. (I hope you are running to stay in shape).

We need to work on using short give n go passes more.

Keep working on AWARENESS. Always know where the disc is. Always know where your mark is. Always feel the flow, and anticipate the next logical pass. Always know the game conditions Always be in a position to help your teammate, on O or D. Do not be the noob that says, "I didn't see the disc," or get pwned because you didn't know the force.

Do not worry to much about catching and throwing perfectly, that will get better with time. If you want to improve you catching, carry a disc around. Sleep with it. Carry it in your hand when running. And when you have time, throw, throw, and throw.
