Step by step 8 steps
  1. Step 1

    Red (the other team) plays a zone defense on us. Blue (us!) forms the letter "X" in the midfield with players 3,4,5,6 and 7. Player 2 will go for the swing.

  3. Step 3

    The Blue "wings" go opposite directions (one SHORT, one LONG) opening up the defense as Player 2 looks for a quick pass up the sideline.

  4. Step 4

    If another SAFE pass is available, we continue moving up the field. If not we dump back to the handler and do it all over again, making sure the "x-wing" is back in formation.

  5. Step 5

    The swing is made again AND blue gets back in the "X-WIng" formation.

  6. Step 6

    The wings split deep and long again, but this time the handler goes with the open long person. the deep defender on team red (#7) can't guard both blue players running deep (#'s 5 and 7), so the pass is made to the open blue (#5).

  7. Step 7

    What about blue # 3 though? What does he do? He will basically help out where needed. -He will cut back to the disc to try and get a pass if the two handlers are having trouble swinging. -He will be an extra cutter to help out the wings when the swing is made. -He will be a continuation pass up the field if the swing is made and passed to the wing (the wing would then pass to him.)
