Flik – Get started with strategy
START HERE
Want to understand the game better?
Ultimate gets much easier when you understand why players and teams make the choices they do.
Flik breaks down Ultimate strategy through practical explanations and analysis of real games. We’ve picked three useful places to start.
OFFENCE
Understand how offences create space
Good offence isn’t just about running harder or throwing better. Start by exploring how positioning, timing and movement create opportunities for the offence by seeing how San Francisco Revolver do it.
DEFENCE
See what the defence is trying to take away
Defence is about more than staying close to your opponent. Learn how defenders can deny space, influence decisions and work together to make offence difficult with this case study of Boston’s Brute Squad’s help defence scheme.
TACTICAL CONCEPTS
Learn the patterns behind the game
Understanding a system is easier when you recognise the movements that make it work. Learn the main cutting shapes used in horizontal stack, with insights from Dylan Freechild and Jimmy Mickle.
