Marking reaction drill - one cut
saukaRed is a cutter, blue is a marker. The cutter can make 1 step fake. Then, once direction has been chosen, (s)he is running straight to either of cone 15 or 17

Straight box footwork
saukaFootwork drill for changing directions. For moving sideways there're 2 variations: Variation #1: going side steps Variation #2: going crossing steps
Drills
Cut-mark drill
saukaThe idea of the drill is to train cuts. On the other hand - to train marking. Fake cut made by the cutter should be with a real effort to make the marker believe. There's no limits where to change the direction inside the drill zone. Drill zone is a rectangle 20x10m. Red is a cutter, blue is a marker.
Drills
Handler - cutter rotation with markers
saukaDrill for training small-ball between handler and cutter getting the disc . In a game the idea would be to confuse markers by catch-give-go and get an opportunity to get into the closed side. Reds are attacking. Force backhand.
Drills
Handler - dump rotation with markers
saukaThis is a variation of the handler-dump rotation for getting a better idea about its purpose. Red are attacking. Force forehand. The idea is to get use to make short fast cuts and give-go interactions. The last step (diagonal brake) looks optimistic, but it is quite real if the rotation is made in a fast pace
Drills
Handler - dump rotation
saukaDrill for handler-dump small-ball training. The scheme is showing movements adapted to force forehand (see handler - dump rotation with markers if needed)
Drills
Give and go - two stacks
saukaGive and go drill simulating a pass from handler to an ongoin cutter and a pass back for continuation. Focus: 1. maintain fast pace drill rotation 2. give the pass back (steps 3 and 7) as fast as possible. prefer backhand to avoid changing the grip
Drills
Snake cuts
sauka#2 is cutting from cone to cone starting from dump position. no passes back. just top speed cuts. It's for a group of 4 players: - handler does 3 sets of throws - 1 set of cuts per cutter - other 2 player pick up and return discs to handler's point Focus: 1. Cutter: - top speed acceleration - footwork when stopping - catching with two hands or external hand (left when going right and vice versa) 2. Handler: - wide side step when throwing - throws' timing and strength - prefer outside-in throws so
Drills
Box - diagonal drills
saukaBox with sides of 5m length. Pace - medium to high. Focus: 1. give and go asap 2. preferably backhand passes to not to lose time for changing hand
Drills
Box - corner cuts
saukaBox with a side of 5m. Pace: medium Focus: 1. handler - timing and passing stregth - side steps when throwing - optionally faking 2. cutter: - footwork when turning at a corner - catching two-hands or outer side hand
Drills
Side to side cuts
saukaSide to side cuts. Pace - slow to medium Focus: 1. Handler: - timing and strength of passes - side step (as wide as you can have a stable throw) when passing 2. Cutter: - deceleration and changing direction - passing back as fast as possible - side step when passing
