We again worked on cutting patterns, drills set up with cones to show the angles that you should be using when cutting from a stack. You can choose if and when you turn so you should be able to lose your defender as they need time to react to your change in direction.
Vertical Offence Positions
10-15 mins chatting about the cutting order and positions in vertical offence. This document covers the main points:
Some extra points that we covered:
- As soon as a cutter receives a pass, they automatically become a handler and one of the two handlers should clear out and join the middle of the stack, this keeps the structure of the offence. They then join the cutting order as the third cut.
- After a cycle reset, if the handler that cut up the line did not get the disc he joins the stack and becomes short fill.
- If a cutter does not get free in ‘their’ stall count, the disc will be reset by the handlers and the next person in the cutting order will cut. The first cutter rejoins the stack.
We then went into another cutting drill with discs going long, we talked shortly about the principles of boxing out, which will be covered in more detail at a later training session.
A short game to finish with excellent vertical offence being played by both teams, much more structured and successful than the previous week. Great improvement!
