We did: warmup, quick throws, quick run & throws, huck-tos, scrimmage
We learned: Shimoni LOVES to quick throw drill. It can be very effective: You catch the disc, turn and throw it quickly. The idea is not to hold it too long, so the defense can't get set. Practicing that quick movement will help us in games. Of course, it's possible to rush things. We don't want push passes or swilly throws. We're staying controlled with these throws; we're trying to cut down on "transition time" from catching to throwing. So you catch the disc, control it, change grip, turn, step out, get low, throw. All in less than a second.
Then we added running to the drill. So you throw, run toward your throw, catch it, turn, throw, follow your throw, etc. Same idea, but there's running involved. There's a lot more going on now, and I noticed everyone was rushing a bit. Being quick is good, but being accurate is more important.
The huck-tos worked (again) on quick movement, and catching and throwing when tired. It got a little hairy with the wind. Next time we do this drill, I want everyone to focus on running full sprint, both in and out.
Te 3x3 scrimmage put our drills into play. The quick throws and quick cuts were key. 3x3 is basically a full-time fast break. It's impossible to clog, so you can run pretty much wherever you want. both teams did well at employing the quick stuff.
