Step 1

We start in our INITIAL POSITION as normal. Let's demonstrate how to clear and push without showing defenders.

Step 2

Cutter 6 receives the disc.

Step 3

Cutter 6 dumps to Handler 2.

Step 4

Cutter 6 CLEARS OUT to the sideline, and Cutter 4 becomes active.

Step 5

Cutter 4 must re-establish the diamond pattern with the other active player Cutter 5. If Cutter 5 is moving towards the disc, Cutter 4 should run deep.

Step 6

If Cutter 5 is going deep, then Cutter 4 should cut in.

Step 7

Let's go back to the INITIAL POSITION.

Step 8

As the disc moves up the field, the wing players should always be keeping up with the play, ready to become active when needed. Active cutters should always clear to the farthest sideline after they make a throw.

Step 9

Cutter 5 makes an easy dump pass

Step 10

After throwing, the active cutter heads to the sideline and a wing pushes in. Cutter 6 receives a short pass.

Step 11

Another short dump pass, and Cutter 4 knows they need to become active.

Step 12

Responding to Cutter 7 continuing their deep run, Cutter 4 comes short for the disc.

Step 13

Cutter 4 throws to Cutter 7. Cutter 6 is preparing to become active.

Step 14

A perfectly worked goal working through the middle of the field!

Step 15

Let's go back to the INITIAL POSITION one last time. Now let's add defenders.

Step 16

The active cutters make their moves as usual.

Step 17

The defense is playing well and the handler cannot throw the disc.

Step 18

Cutter 5 recognises that they are not being successful, and clears out to the side, and Cutter 7 pushes in to become active. Handlers may dump and rest among themselves.

Step 19

Cutter 7 needs to quickly respond to where the other active cutter is, and start cutting.

Step 20

In this case, they cut in and the diamond pattern resumes.
