3-person Sideline Escape by Dave Trovell
Being trapped on the sideline can be daunting for intermediate players. This 3-person play makes it easier for the thrower by giving more options; and helps turn a sideline trap into an attacking position.
Setup
A begins with the disc near the sideline. D1 puts on a line-trap force.
B sets up perpendicular to the sideline facing A, marked by D2.
C is the front of a vertical stack, or a isolation in the centre of the field.
Rotation
A>D1>B>D2>C>D3
Step 01
- Set up
Step 02
- Movement: B and C each have parallel ‘train-tracks’ in which to cut. When B cuts upline, C cuts to the dump/swing, when B cuts back to the dump/swing, C cuts upline. The movement is initiated by B. C needs to respond.
Step 03
- Cutting:
- If B or C catch the disc upline, they immediately swing it to centerfield as the other one cuts up-field Break Under to Away
Step 04
- If B or C catch the disc perpendicular to A, they immediately throw to centerfield as C/B cuts in-field Open to Break Wrinkle

Tips
Dave Trovell says:
Make sure you cut all the way to the sideline and back; any half-cuts are easy to cover and mess-up the timing of your partner.
This really works well near the endzone when C cuts for a swing and then goes down the line – but watch out for a poach from B.
