Step 1

Basic vertical stack. Red is forcing home (the orange triangle). For this example we are blue.

Step 2

The stack should be set on the break side (opposite of where they are forcing us). This is to allow us more room to cut into. (Blue 2 (B2) is the second handler, providing a dump)

Step 3

We will talk before/during the games about whether the front or back of the stack will start the cuts. We do not want everyone cutting at the same time - that will clog up all the lanes. For this example, we'll start from the front.

Step 4

B3 has the option of immediately going deep. Either they will get thrown to, or they will take their defender out of the area. Both good.

Step 5

We score. Yay

Step 6

Reset

Step 7

A simpler cut would be to run upfield, forcing the defender to respect your ability to beat them deep

Step 8

Then come back to the disc. Most passes we make should be to receivers coming TOWARDS the disc.

Step 9

If you don't get the disc, it's important that you CLEAR out, leaving space for the next cutter to occupy

Step 10

We don't have to keep setting a formal stack, but the principle of cutting into space and clearing is the most important thing

Step 11

Let's say B1 makes the throw to B5

Step 12

B6 (or someone) should recognize this as the disc is in the air, and already be cutting to the open space so that B5 has an option as soon as they catch the disc.

Step 13

There should also be a handler (B1 or B2) providing a dump.

Step 14

Offense tips to remember: 1. Play to your strengths, minimize your weaknesses. If you know you can't throw a flick upwind, don't. Use a dump

Step 15

2. If there is not an upfield throw, a handler should ALWAYS be providing a dump.

Step 16

3. Always clap catch when you can. If you try to catch one handed you better catch it (BEN)

Step 17

4. The more you tire out your defender when we are on offense, the less they will run when we're on defense
