Endzone Plays - The Basics


A team should eventually be able to work the disc close to the endzone. However, at this point less space is available with which to work and the defense usually tries to play a little harder. Therefore, having some special plays set up for when the disc is within 15 yards of the endzone is a good idea. The basic rules of an endzone play are:

Set-up: The stack should have plenty of space between players so that picks can be avoided. (This means that people may be out of the endzone which is ok.)

1st in Stack: The first player in the stack is the safety person. It will be his/her responsibility to go for a dump if the play doesn’t work.

Note: Be sure to note the designated passing lanes for each play and if you are not the designated target try keeping your check (as well as yourself) out of the area.

Calling: The play will be bellowed out by the thrower. However, no one will move until the thrower says "go".
