  5. Step 5

    The mark forces upfield/no dump. The inside player in the wall takes away sideways/backwards dumps. The middle player takes away the crossfield swing. The wide player takes away the downfield throws. The mids can pinch in to fill the gaps on either side of #3 (mid-wall).

  6. Step 6

    The trap adjusts to handler movement: the mark should always be taking away the easiest backwards dump, the inside wall taking away the backwards swing, and the middle wall taking away the cross-field swing or crashers
