Drills

Cut-mark drill

The 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

Drill 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

This 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

Drill 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

Give 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

#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

Box 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

Box 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

Side 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  

Offense

Fury

Goal of the play is to initiate flow downfield by having either a handler or a cutter with strong throwing skills receive the first downfield pass.  

Offense

(Swap) Split Stack 3-2 Updated

Defense

2-3-1 Zone with 1 Shutdown

One defender assigned to shutdown an impact player on the offense (typically their best handler), while the other six defenders play zone, albeit with an awareness of the shutdown O & D pair.
