Warm-up
Marking warm-up:
1)
3x 20 seconds of shuffling
a.
Focus: body positioning and footwork
2)
1 x 30 second stall count
a.
Focus: Applying the body positioning and
footwork
3)
2x1min Partner 1 fake marking
a.
Throw a cheeky dump pass to your partner, run up
and mark 1 fake, return center and then back pedal to position.
b.
Focus: Body positioning and footwork. Take the
extra shuffle rather than lean
Marking Drill: McFluegan
Pod Choice: Round robin, Elimination or
Redemption. Choose however you want your pod to run it.
Focus: Apply the muscle memory from
above. PLUS! Learn a thrower. Force them into their second or third throw.
Defensive Footwork: V Drills
1)
In good position (to start): 5x Flick Side 5 x
Backhand side
a.
We did this at a Saturday practice a bit ago. Set
up a V where the offender takes hard steps going deep and then comes under.
Defense: Work on the buffer, keeping loaded in the turn and dictating with
(absorbing) contact.
2)
Out of Position (to start): 5x flick side 5 x
backhand side
a.
Uh oh! The disc has moved and your once good
position is now not. WHAT TO DO? Same V cut from offense. Defense: Work on
dictating with (absorbing) contact to dictate that the offender needs to go
wide.
Applying it all:
Pods with 6+ People: Play Mini! Focus –
Everything from above. Work on Marking with a plan with your solid body
positioning and footwork AND dictating on defense. This isn’t meant to be a
blood bath of endurance. Between points talk to Mollies and ask questions about
your positioning and/or how you could have done something different to make it
more difficult on offense.
Pods with less then 6 people: Thrower and a marker. Offender and a defender.
Run through stop disc scenarios with the mark and downfield defender working
together to succeed! Stop and talk about
what you could have done better. Rinse and repeat.
