Offense
Horizontal Offense: Repositioning
adrianliemHere is a basic sequence showing how to re-establish positioning after moving the disc downfield in a Horizontal Offense. The basic premise with re-positioning is to typically have a Handler fill in the position left vacant by the Lane Cutter. The main goal is to maintain the overall positions where the player with the disc always has 2 options to reset the disc to another Handler, as well as 4 options downfield for continuation passes (2 primary and 2 secondary).
