This is a defensive drill that starts off as a simple isolation cutting drill, and progresses to a full vert stack surrounding drill in a way that gives players the chance to practice all the necessary skills to play good team defense. Check it out on Patreon, available to Training Tier members (free disc after your 2nd month!).
This drill is also described in Travis Norsen’s “The Ultimate Resource”, it’s a keep-disc variation designed to get players to bounce the disc off the sidelines quickly by staying out wide and facing inwards, as well as practicing quick disc movement, decision making and throwing under pressure.
Noah introduces a hexified version of a classic iso cutting drill. In these modifications every player is active, and the drill forces all players to stay switched on to find space, poach, and take advantage of poaches. Available for Training Tier patrons
Hey everyone,
For this month’s training content I’m sharing a Team Defence Session plan which I ran with campers at the Disc In camp in France recently. The session works on players awareness and communication, including their ability to work with each other to contain and frustrate the offence.

This exercise trains players ability to recognise space, to create space for each other, to communicate / cooperate with teammates, and to use space on the field. It’s a flexible drill so I talk about many additions, modifications, and keepdisc game conditions which can be used to run a full session on Space.
This is a fun variation of Keepdisc which works for 6-14 players and involves players changing from offence to defence when they turn over. Full video.
After last month’s 3v1 video blew the doors open on a new way of training defence, we’ve tried to expand on the exercise by changing some of the variables. We’re going to look at 3 extensions to the original exercise, with different numbers of players, cones, and discs added. Full video available for Training Tier patrons.
This is a quick, fun, and easy-to-set-up game gets players moving and reacting to each other, helping develop defensive teamwork and fundamental movement skills. Full video available for Training Tier patrons.
This exercise is similar to Keepdisc, but with the addition of multiple scoring zones marked by different coloured cones, which the offence transitions between attacking. A great exercise to run at the end of a warm-up / keepdisc to aid with the transition into full blown Ultimate. Full video available to Training Tier patrons.
This exercise encourages players to be aggressive with their moves, generating quick forward movement / penetration and scoring opportunities. Full video available for Training Tier patrons.
