Minneapolis’ women’s club ultimate team, POP, will be hosting our annual ULTIMATE SKILLS 
CLINIC on Saturday, April 27th from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

The clinic is open to high school girls’ ultimate players of all skill levels. The clinic will feature 3 
rounds of 25 minute skills lessons and a scrimmage that mixes high school players and Pop 
players together as teammates! Each player will be able to select three of the following lessons 
to attend:

Throwing Fundamentals- Become more confident in your throws by working one-on-one with experienced 
players. We will focus on technique for both forehand and backhand along with pivoting and fakes. 
Recommended for beginning-intermediate players.
Domination Defense- Learn how to shut down your player through body positioning and footwork. Great for all 
players.
Decisive Handling- Pick up tips from experienced handlers on how to become a more reliable handler and teammate. 
In this session, you will learn how to get open for the reset, give-and-go, and get the swing off. Previous handling 
experience recommended.
Cutting like it's Hot- Speed and agility are crucial to the game of ultimate. Learn how to gain an extra step on your 
opponent through proper sprinting form. This session will also work on quick steps to help you change direction at 
your top speed. Awesome skills for any player.
Not in my house! (active marking)- Learn how to be an effective mark using your entire body and taking away the 
immediate offensive threat. Great for players of all levels.
Just Huck It- Throw it deep and hit your receiver. This session will help you increase both the range of your throws 
and completion rate. Recommended for intermediate to strong throwers.
Deep Threat- Practice the best angles for cutting deep and get tips on how to best read a disc. Great for players of all 
levels.
Break yo Mark- Learn how to throw around even the toughest mark. The emphasis will be on throwing from multiple 
release points. Recommended for strong throwers.
Hot Hands- This session will focus on short, quick, and accurate throws. Using strategic drills, you will practice how to 
throw a completed pass during small windows of opportunity. Great for players of all levels.
Layout City- This session will break down the art of laying out into incremental steps. The focus will be on safe form 
and getting comfortable with the ground. 

The fee to attend the clinic is $25. Skills lessons will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis so 
register NOW to claim a spot in your preferred session!

Coach Ben and I would HIGHLY recommend attending this clinic! We know several players on POP, and they are awesome! I know a lot of you couldn't attend this Saturday because of the ACT, but now maybe you can! It is not required, but highly encouraged. If you want to register, do it HERE!
