Step 1

Vertical Stack! 6,7 are handlers. 1,2,3,4,5 are cutters. 1 is a sometimes handler.

Step 2

Notice: The stack slants just a little toward the "force side"

Step 3

Notice: The second handler sets up at a 45° angle on the force side of the first handler.

Step 4

Notice: the stack sets up about 15 yards in front of the primary handler.

Step 5

This is how a defense will typically set up against a vertical stack. Man defense, forcing flick.

Step 6

The #5 in the stack initiates this offense. Generally they make a fake either under or deep, and then go the other way to create an opportunity.

Step 7

This offense creates one-on-one opportunities to beat your defender to the force side.

Step 8

But what if you didn't get open?

Step 9

If you tried to get open

Step 10

And couldn't, or even if the throw just didn't come for you,

Step 11

Your best idea is to get back into the stack.

Step 12

This allows the offense to cycle, and now it's #4s turn to make a cut.

Step 13

reset

Step 14

If you made your cut

Step 15

And the throw didn't come for you.

Step 16

If you aren't returning to the stack immediately, you must clear

Step 17

Maybe that's a good option for the situation.

Step 18

But either way.

Step 19

If you don't get the disc

Step 20

Even if you were open

Step 21

DO NOT DELAY IN THE LANE.

Step 22

Get back into the stack

Step 23

One last thing

Step 24

Flip back through this and notice how much time the cutters spend in the stack.

Step 25

There are moments where you'll feel like your not moving enough. That's okay.
