Step 1

This is the INITIAL POSITION for the Horizontal Stack. We have 3 handlers, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Blue 3. We also have 4 cutters, Blue 4, 5, 6 & 7. Because they are in front of the disc, Blue 5 and 6 are 'active' cutters.

Step 2

Blue 5 & 6 will try to receive the disc here, just in front of the thrower.

Step 3

Or here, in the space downfield.

Step 4

Since we have two cutters, and two places to receive the disc, Blue 5 & 6 will each move to one of those spaces.

Step 5

Here, Blue 6 catches a short throw.

Step 6

Blue 5 can now continue towards the endzone, or run back towards Blue 6.

Step 7

Blue 6 can throw to Blue 5.

Step 8

Let's go back to the INITIAL POSITION.

Step 9

This time, the disc is not thrown.

Step 10

The active cutters cut in a loose diamond shape, and Blue 5 receives the disc while making an in-cut.

Step 11

Blue 6 continues cutting in the diamond shape, and receives a pass from Blue 5.

Step 12

Again, let's go back to the INITIAL POSITION.

Step 13

Blue 5 catches the disc again. This time, they do not turn to face Blue 6, but instead continue looking at the handlers.

Step 14

A handler runs up the field and gets a 'dump' pass from Blue 5. Blue 6 continues their run.

Step 15

Blue 1 is in a great position to make a throw to Blue 6.
