The 3 Meter Challenge

A popular putting/throwing drill amongst more advanced juniors, made famous by Simon Lizotte (10 foot challenge).

Supplies

  • One basket. Two for team play
  • Cones/markers (around 10-15)
  • Three discs for each player

Preparations

  1. Set the basket(s) in a safe place with sufficient space
  2. Mark throwing spots for each 1 to 3 meters depending on the level of participants. The first spot at 3 meters from the basket.

Rules

  • A maximum of 6 people who compete as a team
  • The goal is to get as far as possible in e.g. 15 minutes
  • Starting from the 3 m line, the team can advance to the next line when they have made the required number of putts. At the closest distances more putts are required, whereas from a long distance, one putt is enough. See an example in the picture.
  • Each player putts at the same time. After all discs have been used, the players go pick them up for another round.
  • Alternative: Time is running, tick-tock! The players can putt simultaneously and the discs are fetched running to add a fitness element to the exercise.

The team must make 5 baskets from the 3 meter line, 4 from the 6 meter line and so on.
