This past week, I attended a camp in Madison, WI for Ultimate.
It was the best week of my summer thus far. Here is just some of what I learned while attending the Next Level Ultimate Camp
-
Day 1: Throwing to Space and Making Good Cuts
Stop 3-4 step cuts, get all of your cuts to 10 steps in one direction.
Throw n’ Go—Stop watching your throw
Throwing to space on deep throws- Flat throws not bendy
-
Day 2: Stepping OUT on Throws, Clearing Hard, Good 2nd Cuts
If you are cutting and not going 80-100% then CLEAR.
Pancake Catches
Step around defender by stepping out after fake.
-
Day 3: Defense, Marking–Good Hands, Staying on Underside
Cover 50% of field with the body, cover 50% with the legs
Hand on hip playing defense—get that close
Stay under until there is an UP call
Listen to sidelines for UP call
Marking: Be small with kicks, don’t extend hands completely, bend in knees and shuffle, upright torso.
-
Day 4: Handler Movement & Cutting–Swing! Throwing DEEP–IO!
Dump and Swing as handlers.
When hucking… grip disc hard, step out, weight your non-pivot foot, use opposite hand to balance.
-
Day 5: You Need Swagger! — Hector
All good teams have it, you need to reach a level of Ultimate where other teams know you are good just by stepping out on the field.
