Set Plays - Coffee Break


This play is designed to help break the mark when there has been either a pull or a turnover in your own endzone. Usually, the opposing team will call out to "trap". This leaves very little open for the handler. To combat this setup a second "short stack" across the endzone. This turns the original mark into a straight up mark for the second stack. All three players along the endzone are handlers. The first player in the onfield stack is a deep and the last player in the on field stack is any player with a good deep throw in their bag. The play runs as follows:
The first handler in the short stack makes a checkmark cut that results in getting a dump against the mark. At the same time this cut is being made the deep in the onfield stack also checks towards the disc and then starts his/her deep cut.
When the pass is completed to the first handler the final short stack handler is coming out of his/her own checkmark and receives the disc fully on the broken side of the field.
As the deep roars past the stack the remaining players must keep their defenders occupied by drifting forward. The last player in the stack should make his cut towards the disc about the time the deep is cutting past and when the final handler is making his catch. This prevents the last defender from cheating off to help cover the deep.
Two passes from the score. Or, at the very least the disc has been worked against the mark and is now off the cone and in the field of play in good position.
