Forcing Teams to Play Good Mixed Ultimate
In this video, Noah takes a look at GB vs New Zealand at U24s back in 2023. New Zealand displayed a potent deep game at the beginning of this game and throughout the tournament, particularly with impressive receiver Finn Collins. If you look at the stats it’s clear that New Zealand’s male matching players ran the show; GB recognised that, and adjusted by having a female matching poach in the deep space. This completely destroyed New Zealand’s offensive flow, and is a good lesson in exploiting teams that play disproportionately through just a few players on their team – which is especially prevalent in mixed ultimate.

How to Poach in Indoor Ultimate
Patron-only video (any tier): Noah talks through the nuances of poaching in indoor ultimate – “Poaching occurs more frequently and differently compared to outdoor ultimate. I initially made this content to share with the university teams I’m coaching indoor ultimate to – specifically I wanted more people to understand the threat of players occupying or cutting towards the endzone, and show how high level indoor players recognise these threats and give up easier options to protect easy scores.”
If you’re not familiar with indoor ultimate, it’s a really fun watch, you can check out this full game here.
