This document provides instructions for assessing the putting technique in frisbee golf. It outlines the proper form for a putt, including maintaining front foot placement and using a rocking body motion. Students will be evaluated on their form based on a 1-3 scoring rubric measuring their rocking motion, foot placement, disc release, and whether the disc lands in the basket. Accommodations are provided for students with disabilities, modifying the criteria based on individual abilities.

1. Information Sheet for “Putting” in Frisbee Golf
Purpose:
To adequately develop and display the correct technique of putting the disc into the basket or
hole in Frisbee Golf.
Instructions:
When a player is within 10 meters of the basket, he or she may decide to play their putter disc.
The player will start in a standing position with their dominant foot in front and lean towards
the basket with their throw. The throw is a rocking motion with the body, while the front foot is
still on the ground. The back foot may come off the ground but the player must maintain their
front foot position in order for the shot to count. You may not fall past your front foot with your
body or other foot. You may use one or both hands when throwing your putter at the basket.
The throw is more a toss throw rather than a tee shot.
Equipment Needed:
Frisbees, Official Hole or Frisbee Golf Baskets, Cones for Warm Up Putting Box
Scoring Procedures:
We will have a scoring rubric that will include the average of 2 throws per person. They will be
scored by using a 1-3 scale on their rocking motion (heel to heel), foot placement, release of
the Frisbee and the final landing location of their putt.

2. Scoring Criteria/Grading:
Skills: Grading Scale: Attempt Attempt Attempt
1 2 3
Rocking Motion: 1-No motion at all when
putting
2- Jerky or Unsteady Rocking
motion
3- Fluid and balanced
rocking motion
Foot Placement: 1- Feet are together at all
times
2- Leads with the throwing
or dominant foot but does
not keep it on the ground
3- Leads with their throwing
or dominant foot and keeps
it planted on the ground.
Release of Frisbee: 1- Releases the Frisbee and
falls forwards with their
body and displaces their
feet.
2- Releases the Frisbee and
slightly falls forwards but
maintains balance and foot
position
3- Releases the Frisbee and
keeps both feet on the
ground while maintaining
good balance and body
position.
Final Landing 1- Frisbee lands within 5 feet

2-Frisbee hits the basket but
lands outside of it.
3- Frisbee lands in the

Test Modifications:
In order to make this skills assessment accessible to all students, we will have a modified test
that will include modified testing zones as well as different criteria that the student will be
tested on. For example, if a student that was limited to a wheelchair was to take this test, we
would have them use a twisting or rocking motion with their upper body (if possible). We would
grade them on their shoulder and elbow motion. We will still grade them on their final
placement of their chair instead of their feet. Their chair may not continue rolling or tip forward
during the action of their throw. The grading criteria for release of Frisbee and final landing will
be modified to a distance that is appropriate for them.

4. Tasks for Non-Testing Students:
There will be a designated warm up area where the students who are not testing at a particular
time may practice their rocking motion and throw. The warm up area will be exactly 10 meters
away from the putter which will be marked with cones instead of an actual basket.
