Ultimate Football | Playworks

To develop teamwork, cooperation, verbal communication and eye-hand coordination.

Use the cones to create boundaries and make sure there are two end zones.
Divide the group into two even teams.
Have one player from each team do Rock Paper Scissors to determine who has possession first.
Line both teams up on each baseline of the field.

Open Area

On the leader’s signal, the team starting on defense throws or kicks the ball (depending on skill level) to the offensive team.
One player from the offense either catches the ball or picks it up where it lands, and tries to pass it to one of his/her teammates.
When anyone on either team has the ball, s/he can only use one pivot foot to move. They cannot take steps or run with the ball.
The offense tries to advance the ball down the field with passes, and scores a point if one of the team members catches the ball in the end zone.
The defense tries to block or knock down the ball during a pass to gain possession.
The defense must stay a step back from the offensive player and may not touch that person.
If a ball is knocked down or intercepted, play of the game is switched and the defense now becomes the offense, heading toward their end zone.

Use different colored jerseys to differentiate the teams, as directions change often in this game and players may get confused.
For those just learning the game, allow one or two steps when they are throwing the ball.
