Defense
Beach Zone
liamgrant2-2-1 zone defence. forcing middle. similar to one we have used before in indoors. players one and two are always marking disc and take turns forcing as the disc moves from side to side. two mids shutting down short passes on their respective sides and a deep being boss. its a soft zone so its good if your ahead in a game and want to slow play down.

Endzone Warmup
adrianliemHere is a classic warm-up drill that works on endzone cuts, going-to the disc, and dump-swing-flow.

Awareness Drill

Airplane drill
ultimatesmurf87A great way to practice the mark stopping the next pass after the swing has gotten off. A way for the cup to practice containing the disc.
Offense
turnaround
ultimateSUset play for horizontal. usually done from a timeout or brick pull. one of the stronger handlers(1O) switches with a cutter in the stack(5O). we use a flood to create space, a big under to gain yards to a handler, and a huck for a score. this is a play designed for teams who may not have cutters with good hucks. instead, the handler playing in the cutting spot allows for a more aggressive offensive attempt.
Offense
Sideline SS or 2nd
prestommSS is always on the left, 2nd is always on the right. If "second" is called, then SS (5) and 2nd Base (6) switch places in the animation, but everything else remains the same. Handle should take one look at the hot cut (SS or 2nd), then look to the catcher.
Offense
Offensive Attack of 3 person cup Zone
adrewsHow we beat a 3 man cup zone. We had trouble on sunday because we were missing 10 meters of field width making the swings impossible to complete. With a full field, this zone is relatively easy to beat if we are focused and disciplined to work the system together :) Note: the diagram makes it look like there is not much horizontal space to work with because the players are gigantic, but on a normal field it will be fine.
