Throwing a Frisbee can make for lazy day fun—or fast and furious sport—for just about anyone!
You Will Need
- A Frisbeeª
- Open space, such as a large yard or park
- At least one other friend
Step 1: Stand in open area
Stand in an open area, with your friend standing about 30 yards away.
Step 2: Angle yourself
Face sideways, with your throwing-arm shoulder pointing toward your intended target. Your chest will be facing 90 degrees from the direction you want to throw.
Step 3: Hold the Frisbee
Hold the Frisbee by its lip in your throwing hand, face-up.
Step 4: Use proper form
Keeping your arm straight, curl your wrist toward your body and gently bend your arm at the elbow just a bit.
Step 5: Flick your wrist
Extend your arm and wrist in one quick “flicking” motion.
The flick is more important than the power behind it. Don’t whip it too hard or your throw will go wild.
Step 6: Release the Frisbee
Release the Frisbee when your arm and wrist are completely extended and pointed right at your target.
Release the Frisbee parallel to the ground around hip-height—imagine it’s a plate of food that you don’t want to spill
Step 7: Toss it around
Find a bunch of hippy friends, go into a field, and toss around until dusk.
One theory on the Frisbee’s origin is that New England college students discovered that their Frisbie Baking Company pie tins were fun to hurl around.

there are two other frisbee throws that i know of, which are called the flick and the hammer. the flick is where you curl your arm away from your body, with two fingers on the inner rim, and flick it. the hammer requires throwing the frisbee wrong side up at a 45 degree angle above your head so that the frisbee flies upside down (sounds wierd, i know).
