This training video dives deep into exercises that can help improve your ability to do the “Throw and Go”, an integral part of dribbling or a small-ball style offense. We partnered with Justin Shelby from TOBU Fitness, an Ultimate Frisbee-specific strength and conditioning coach, who breaks down the specific joint and muscle movements needed to perform the “Throw and Go” at an elite level.

Being able to run out of your throw on the flick side is as important as having a throw’n’go backhand. In this video Felix talks about technique you can use to maximise the acceleration out of your throw without risking travelling, and whilst minimising the risk of a travel being called against you.
In this Patreon only video Noah talks about something he noticed whilst making a previous video.
“Brice Vanhee give-gos up line whilst looking for the return pass and deliberately turns inwards to maintain eye contact and face Deridder up until the moment Deridder finds another option. It’s only subtly different to the more common alternative – turning outwards and clearing deep, but I think this cutting technique could decrease miscommunication turns as the cutter is always ready to receive the disc in a similar way to how clap catching with the correct hand on top of the disc decreases drops.”
Daan De Marrée gets a lot of poach blocks, infact he has a unique style of getting poach blocks that makes him one of the smartest defenders in the World. Thanks to Ulti.tv and Ultiworld for the footage we used in this video. This is the last time we’re making a vid about Daan/Belgium for a while … well maybe.
This is a simple drill to work on fundamental throw’n’go technique, suitable for players of all experience levels.
This video is slightly different to usual as there are no edits – you see the full explanation, execution, and group review of the exercise. Full video available for training tier patrons.
In this video Noah continues to talk about the Belgium U24 Open team ahead of the World Under-24 Championships. He points out the subtle pieces of communication from the cutters to the throwers that keep the offence on the same page and running smoothly.

This drill puts the spotlight on one player at a time. First they catch & throw from a feeder, passing to every player cutting under, then they bounce discs back to every player as they give-go attack downfield.
The huck extension adds a long throw to the end of the drill, after the players are set up perfectly in power position by the spotlighted player, who is bouncing the disc back to them. Full video available for Training Tier patrons.
In this episode of the World Games film room we look at our final pool play game, Germany extend their hot streak and take the US. Noah sorts through this turn fest of a game and breaks down how the Germans completed a second huge upset.
