Defense
Wall
indycondorThe intent of the play is two-fold 1. Slow down offensive sets 2. Force lots of throws, protect the upfield throws, get the D's on the swings and throws around the wall. The execution of the play allows for variations 1. Play zone or person defense behind the wall. 2. Play wall across the field or switch to a sideline trap 3. Depending on weather, guard the skip pass hard or defend the middle handler and wing guards the skip pass. 4. Play protective (guard upfield) or aggressive wings (poach the swing passes hard)
Offense
Wheel Option 1 - Defense Flashes
msteinThis is the original reset play that is ran - a wheel to get the disc on the break side: https://playspedia.com/play/21306 <br> <br> That play, however, assumes that the reset defender is following the handler in the wheel, allowing the break side lane to be open. This is an unrealistic assumption. Instead it is more likely that the defensive players would either switch, the reset defender (Red 2) would sprint into the break side lane to block the continuation throw. <br> <br> This play starts with the wheel being successful, but the defensive player flashing into the lane blocking the continuation throw to the break side.
Offense
Wheel Option 2 - Tight Reset Defense
msteinThis is the original reset play that is ran - a wheel to get the disc on the break side: https://playspedia.com/play/21306 <br> <br> That play, however, assumes that the reset defender is poached off the disc. While that is likely the case early on, it certainly will not always be the case. <br> <br> When the reset defender is playing tight, the wheel is harder to execute - not impossible, but harder. In the advent that the first wheel look (to the break side) fails, the reset is going to jab step and come back to the open side to reset the disc. In the event that the reset fails, we look for a secondary reset (Blue 3) - to be discussed in another play.
Drills
Endzone Drill
LHCaptainEndzone drill to practice continue break throws after a break side cut. Defender should allow the first cutter to catch the throw but should attempt to deny the next break throw. This should be run on both sides of the field. Progression will be defense -->offense-->throwing line-->throw-->cutting line. This is a great drill to work on timing the continue cut, setting a good mark quickly, and setting your grip and getting a good controlled break throw off in a game like situation.
