== Offense ==
=== Cutting ===
The best way to make a '''cut''' (trying to get open when you don't have the disc) is to take several hard steps in one direction, and then sprint full out in the direction you'd like to receive the disc. Trying to "shake off" your defender, or "spin around" him or her will waste time and not work. Sometimes you won't even need a fake--simply sprint hard to the place you want to catch the disc.
* '''Clearing:''' If you don't get the disc when cutting or the '''handler''' calls you out sprint back into the stack so that space is clear for the next person to cut.
* '''Make Vertical Cuts:''' Cut vertically, or up and down the field, rather than side to side. Horizontal cuts cut off players who are cutting after you and are more difficult to complete.
== Defense ==
=== The Force ===
This strategy has 2 components:
# The defender on '''point-d''' (defense on the handler) tries to take away all the throws to one side of the field so that
# The rest of the defense "cheats" to the other side trusting that throws will only go up on that side.
The side that the field defenders try to take away is called the '''force side''' while the side that the '''point-d''' tries to take away is called the '''break side'''.
* '''Force Forehand:''' the point-d forces the handler to throw to the "forehand" side of the field.
* '''Force Backhand:''' the opposite.
