Step 1

Standard Zone O Setup: 3 handlers, 3 mids, 1 deep.

Step 2

Alternate Zone O Setup: 2 handlers, 2 wings, 2 poppers, 1 deep.

Step 3

Blue 1 & 2 are the primary handlers. They maintain their position within the middle of the field. Typically, they provide an option for a dump or break force throw.

Step 4

Blue 3 & 4 can fill in as a far side handler on the wing.

Step 5

Blue 1 now has a swing pass to 3 as an option.

Step 6

But that pass may be taken away by the Zone D, or the handler might also want to exploit the weak side.

Step 7

Blue 1 also has 2 as a dump / break pass option.

Step 8

As the disc moves past the mark (Red 1), there is a window of opportunity to make a swing pass to Blue 4 who should time a cut to gain yards.

Step 9

Once the disc goes up field, Blue 5 and 6 should be looking for continuation cuts.

Step 10

Blue 6 reads off of 5 and looks for another continuation pass.

Step 11

If no continuation exists, reset to a handler.
