Give and Go Chain

a.k.a. the Plink-O drill (although I was doing it ten years before Jam was)

 

 

Instructions:

1)      Line up 7-9 people in a line spanning 60-80 yards ~15 yards apart.  Head of line is the handler, all other participants are cutters.  Handler should be 20 yards from first cutter.

2)      Handler traverses the line, one cutter at a time, either to the left or the right of cutters.

3)      Each cutter makes only a very short comeback cut just prior to the handler throwing the disk.

4)      The first cutter then goes to the front of the line and waits for the handler to finish and then becomes the next handler.

5)      Go through line four times each, twice on the left side and twice on the right side.

 

Things to remember:

1)      Both the cutter and handler need to decelerate into their respective catches

2)      Cutters need to throw a backhand with the hand that is nearest to the handler (righty to their right side and lefty to their left.)

3)      Handler needs to throw with all weight and balance on pivot foot.

4)      Don’t travel.

Alternate version: use the techniques in the Back Pivot drill every other time you catch the disc.  This is exhaustion but fruitful.

*note---technically, the Handlers passes should be a lefty backhand or righty sidearm going up the right side of the chain and conversely, lefty sidearm or righty backhand going up the left side of the chain.  But for the sake of simplicity, do whatever is most comfortable and powerful for you.

 Fundamentals Emphasized:

1)      Balance

2)      Symmetry

3)      Penetration

4)      Motion

5)      Spacing

6)      Ambidexterity
