How to Catch a Flying Disc Behind Your Back

Add a little pizzazz when you're tossing the disc around by catching it behind your back.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Keep your eye on the disc from the moment it's thrown.
2. Judge where you think you can catch the disc.
3. Get to that spot, making any needed adjustments.
4. Take a step back with the foot on the same side of your body as your catching hand (left hand, left foot; right hand, right foot).
5. Wrap your catching arm behind your back, bending your elbow 90 degrees.
6. Have your palm facing up with your thumb pointing up.
7. Pinch your thumb to your fingers to catch the disc.

Tips & Warnings

• Since the disc doesn't tend to fly straight, this catch takes some time to get used to.
• You can't actually see the disc hit your hand, so the timing takes practice.
• If you're lunging with your arm to catch the disc, try taking a bigger step backwards.
