If a player catches the disc in the air and lands with one foot out of bounds, is it a goal? Why or why not?
No, it's not a goal. Both feet (or the first point of contact) must land in bounds for the catch to count.
Explain how to correctly throw a forehand (flick) using grip, stance and release. Name at least 2 key coaching points.
Use a split grip (forefinger and middle finger under the disc), stand side-on with pivot foot forward, flick the wrist with snap at release. Coaching points: “flick the wrist,” “keep the disc flat,” “step toward your target.”
Describe a situation where two players disagree on a foul call. What is the correct Spirit of the Game-approved process to resolve it?
They should calmly discuss the call, explain their perspectives, and try to agree. If they cannot agree, the play is redone from the last uncontested point. No yelling, no arguing, mutual respect must be shown.
In a vertical stack offence, explain the roles of the handlers and cutters. Why is spacing between players important?
Handlers stay near the disc to reset the play and make short throws. Cutters make runs downfield to receive passes. Spacing prevents defenders from blocking multiple players and allows clean throwing lanes.
What is a “turn and burn” cut, and when is it used in Ultimate Frisbee?
A “turn and burn” is when a player fakes toward the disc, then quickly cuts deep downfield. It’s used to create separation from a defender and receive a long throw (huck).
