Initial setup. Thrower 1 has the disc. Cutter 2 sets up hucking distance from thrower 1. Deep defender, D1, sets up as far from receiver 2 as they dare. Remaining players form a stack in pairs behind thrower 1. This drill is best for groups of 7 to 15. For more then 15 players split into multiple drills.
Thrower 1 throws a huck to cutter 2. Defender D1 has to get to 1 in time to make a play on the disc.
D1 & 2 then return to the stack and the next pair D2 and 3 set up in their place. Players rotate through in pairs making sure they alternate O & D.
