Initial setup. A handler, 1, is guarded by D1 who applies a one-way mark. A reset, 2, stands 5-10m downfield of 1, guarded by D2. A third handler, 3, stands 5-8m further across the field. A continuation cutter, 4, stands 8-12m downfield towards the middle of the width of the field.
Scenario 1 - If 2 is free upline, 2 cuts upline. 1 throws to 2. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-power-position-trap-force/
2 throws to 1. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/dish-open-side/
2 bounces infield. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-bounce-cut/
2 throws continuation to 4. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/cut-underneath-open/
Scenario 2 - 2 cuts upline but is not free.
3 cuts laterally across the field towards 1. 2 bounces infield to clear. Here, there are 3 possible scenarios.
Scenario 2a - 3 cuts up line. 1 throws to 3. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-power-position-trap-force/
Scenario 2b - 3 cuts backwards. 1 throws to 3. 3 then throws continuation to 2. See related drills: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-wrinkle/ https://www.flikulti.com/drills/downfield-lateral-cut/
2 throws continuation to 4. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/downfield-lateral-cut/
Scenario 2c - 2 bounces infield. 2 then throws continuation to 4. See related drills: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-bounce-cut/ https://www.flikulti.com/drills/cut-underneath-open/
Scenario 3 - 2 cuts backwards. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/sideline-wrinkle/
Just before 2 catches the disc, 3 moves to the open side (this is not necessary if D3 is not guarding closely)
Scenario 3a - 3 cuts across the front for a Chisel. 3 throws continuation to a cutter, 4. See related drills: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/chisel/ https://www.flikulti.com/theory/handler-offence-fundamentals/the-undefended-channel/ https://www.flikulti.com/drills/cut-underneath-open/
3 cuts for the give and go. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/dish-open-side/
Scenario 3b - 3 turns and cuts out for continuation. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/cut-underneath-open/
3 catches the disc and looks for continuation upfield; this act pulls D3 across. Since D2 has over-committed on the mark, 2 cuts for the give & go. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/inverse-give-and-go/
3 throws to 2. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/inverse-give-and-go/
2 throws continuation to 4. See related drill: https://www.flikulti.com/drills/straight-away-throw-to-diagonal_trap-cut/
