Throwing Cues

PE Central

Overhand Wrist Fling (Frisbee)

Suggested Grade Level: 3-5

Hold Frisbee like you are steering a car.

Index fingers pointed toward the top of the frisbee, thumbs under the rim, the rest of the fingers spread out over the top of the disc.

Let go with the non-dominant hand, turn toward the hand holding the disc.

Disc goes behind the back and "scratches" the lower back.

Bring the disc in an arc shoulder level high and snap the wrist.

Make sure the disc is released with it angled slightly toward the ground, rather than level or flat.
