Throwing Practice

Ultimate Throwing skills

Good accurate throwing and good catching only comes from hours of practice!  Follow these throwing programs to give you focus, structure and an opportunity to track your progress.

Each program for beginners, intermediate and advanced players progresses from preseason, in season, to during competition.

For each week there are a number of throwing practices to complete these could be done before or after ultimate training or a match, or on days in between.  Record how successful you are so that you can track your improvement.

When completing the practices aim to use good form, body position and focus on your receiver. Make sure to warm up to prevent injury.

To start with each program starts with a number of static receiver exercises so you can focus on technique, however, it is very important to keep this throwing practice game ready by throwing to moving catchers. How often do you ever throw to a stationary player during a game? 

On the first tab of the chart there is a description of each practice routine and how to complete it.  For notes on technique see 'throwing technique' on the main site.
