drills
Chicago Machine's Brett & Goose bring together multiple cutting options to show the power of the vertical stack formation
Forcing offence to stay still means you'll need to take on some throws that you might normally find difficult in this fun game
Limiting the ability of the cutter forces the thrower to be more creative; this drill will teach throwers to identify space and select an appropriate throw
Different throws are more useful in different circumstances, so you'll need to practice lots of different scenarios rather than just throwing back and forth all the time. Trying to use just four types of throw with four different reception areas results in 16 different throws being practiced in this one drill.
