Step 1

This is the way to set up for a Horizontal Stack. I've left out the defenders for the moment. 1,2&3 are handlers. 4 is the Left Wing, 5&6 are 'mids' and 7 is the Right Wing.

Step 2

The aim of any Horizontal stack is to use motion up and down the pitch to get free of your mark.

Step 3

Here, the Force (F) is making the handler (2) throw a forehand. (6) will therefore initiate the play because they are the nearest player on the 'open' side.

Step 4

6 has the choice of coming towards the disc to get a short pass OR 6 can bus deep for the huck.

Step 5

6 Goes Deep: If 6 goes deep, 5 should act like a piston in an engine and cut in the opposite direction. 5 has come forward, looking for the break throw from 2.

Step 6

If neither player gets free, 5 should turn and go straight deep. 6 Should sprint under for the short pass.

Step 7

And if they don't get it, you guessed it, they cut back again.

Step 8

Hopefully, by this point, somebody will have got free and gets the disc.

Step 9

Once the throw has been made up-field, the other players reset like in the first step, 2 becomes the new mid and 6 becomes a handler.

Step 10

If the non-center handler (1 or 3) has the disc, the nearest pair cuts, in this demo, 4&5 will cut, with 5 initiating.
