Frizbee has been a highlight of my life. I started when I was in about fourth grade and have been using them still as a junior in high school. Over the many years of playing around with them I have learned many ways to throw a frizbee and many ways to look cool while throwing one. Playing frizbee is a great way to stay fit and have fun with your friends. Frizbee can be broken off into many games such as catch, untimate frizbee, or disc golf. All of these sports involve great arm strength and most frizbee games require a lot of running. In this instructable I will teach you the basics of frizbee be teaching you how to throw a frizbee in 7 different ways.

Awesome.

Step 1: Things you will need

  1. You might want to have a frizbee
I use 175 gram frizbees because they are light enough to not hurt your hand but heavy enough to not get blown away in the wind  
         
        2. You will want a friend to play with

You can play frizbee with yourself but it is not nearly as fun as playing with someone else

        3. You will need a place to throw a frizbee

Not indoors, not in a street, and not in place with too many obsticals. An open field would be nice, but you could do it in a park 

        4. You will need some time to practice what you learn

Practice makes perfect unless your some kind of alien or something like that, or some kind of freaky voodoo would work too.

Good! I can finally not look so silly when my frisbees go everywhere!

Cool. I was going to make an instructable for this. Looks like you beat me to it!

Nice Instructable.   I play a lot of Frisbee - mind if I spam this relevant entry from my blog?

The throws you call "backhand" and "forehand" are the wrong way round - when the back of your hand faces away from you, and the Frisbee moves towards your off side, that's a backhand.

You should add videos of those grips and throws as well, because I don't really get steps 3,5 & 7 from the photos.

Just no official teams within 150 miles...

I have to make the kids play so I have a team to play on!

(There was supposed to be a local inter-school tournament, but it never happened.)

Well, that still sounds like fun!
Kiteman says: Jul 5, 2011. 7:13 AM
It is, although the non-contact rule seems to get forgotten when I have the disc...

Well, there always is a little pushing in Frisbee (I am well known for it!)
Funky Mcgroovy (author) says: Jul 3, 2011. 7:46 AM
I will start working on that today. Thank you for the comment.

There you go Kiteman hope you enjoy

Absolutely!

Alright, I absolutely LOVE Ultimate Frisbee. I think you did a pretty good job with the throws here, but... 1.) It's frisbee, not frizbee 2.) You have the backhand and forehand throws mixed up 3.) What about the push throw?!?!
Anyway good job!

Thank you for the comment. Darn it I forgot about the push throw, that is a cool one.
splazem says: Jul 5, 2011. 6:33 AM
Add it!

Hi,
I loved McGroovy's video guide. You explain each throw naturally. Wish you the best. By the way, there are ultimate frisbee tournaments taking place all across the USA this summer. Whether you are interested in participating, or just watching the game this page will provide you with the information you need. http://files.promosonline.com/frisbee_tournaments.html
Businesses looking to help sponsor the events can provide branded custom personalized frisbees, (aka frizbees) with their logos by contacting a promotional products company.
Yours,
Kathy Smalley
