Vertical Ideas
RobbieSSome basic ideas for the vertical stack. Bonus notes: -Vertical should give the cutter room to get open, and the thrower a chance to put it to space. -In this example, there are two handlers back. We can also have three handlers back, and the offense works the same. Three gives more options for handler movement. -This demos cuts from the back. We could also cut from the front. -Cuts don't always have to go to the open side. There can be break side cuts too, this is a demo on positioning. -There are exceptions to every rule. E.g., there are situations in this offense where a cut from the front is valid, with these conditions: 1) In-cut from back 2) Front defender shading under 3) No break cut from next in stack 4) No defenders poaching deep This requires the front cutter to be aware of many things in order for it to work. If you just make the cut without taking into account what is happening on the field, you will hurt the offense.
Defense
4 On the Line

Offense
Whole team Weave
ollybarkwithWeaving off the front of the stack, rotation of the handlers and the stack to continue the flow!
Defense
Black

Defense
Bracketing
freckaLast two in the stack are "bracketed" or "bookended." Offensive cutters 6 and 7 are referred to as 6o and 7o, defense as 6d and 7d. 6d takes whichever of 6o and 7o go in, and 7d takes whichever of 6o and 7o go deep.
Offense
Zipper
freckaStandard play which everyone has different names for. Great off of a stopped disc in the middle of the field (brick, for instance). Zip has his amazing catch from 2009 club nationals running this play (see http://www.ultivillage.com/index.php/COTD-2008/2009-UPA-Club-Open-Final-Ziperstein-score)

Drills
Throw and Go
utahericWorking on throwing and going with a deep look after. Thrower is make a dump cut right after they throw to the middle cutter. Thrower is working on the timing of their cut and the distance from the cutter, the cut needs to be at least 3 yards from the thrower. The middle cutter is working on catching the disc fast and looking to throw a easy to catch disc. The disc needs to be thrown out into space. I like to use the high release back hand or a lifted backhand. The deep cut will be staying even with the disc and timing their cut from when the thrower gets the disc back.
