Lead Pass around poaching defender
Setup:
A handler, A, starts with the disc and is stood at the front of a stack. A cutter, B, stands 2-10m away, in a stack parallel to the sideline.
Rotation:
A > B
Step 1
- B takes a few steps directly towards A; this movement is designed to mimic the movement required to move a defender
- B then turns sharply to run at a 60 degree angle downfield; A aims to throw the pass so that it sits in B’s path, and away from the sideline
Pre-Requisite Drills:
None
Tips:
Brummie says:
Aim for the disc to sit in space rather than trying to hit the receiver perfectly in stride; this increases the error margin
You can slowly but surely increase the throwing distance to transition into "huck" drills (i.e. long throws)
