Friznet         
 
Tactical Focus:
Ready Position
Using a badminton court and net, partners will face their opponents on the other side of the net.
"Rock, paper, scissors" will determine who starts with the frisbee.
The object of the game is to throw the frisbee over the net so that it drops on the opponents side of the court.
The frisbee is sent over the net to score.
In order to score a point, the frisbee must land on the opponent side within the badminton boundaries.
If team "A" sends the frisbee outside the boundaries and it hits the floor, team "B" receives control of the frisbee.
When play stops for any reason, the team with possession must send the frisbee from the baseline of the badminton court.

Under Friznet - throw the frisbee under the net
Fountain Friznet: Tape pennies onto the frisbees. The object is to throw the penny (Frisbee) into a fountain (hula hoop). The team gets one point for every time the penny lands in the hula hoop.

What are effective ways for teammates to cover the maximum amount of space to avoid letting the frisbee drop?
Communicate with partner about how to best cover space
Return to the recovery position after every throw back to the other court. In other words, do not stand and watch the frisbee go back across the net.

Add more players per side
Eliminate the net.
Reduce the size of the playing area so that players use half the badminton court.
Throw Frisbee using non-dominant hand
Allow up to three passes before the frisbee is thrown back over the net
