		<description><![CDATA[The Break Force Funnel is a simple horizontal play that is initiated by a handler on the open side making a break force cut.   This play can be effective for teams that have strong throwing abilities as it requires each player throwing a potential break force throw.  The main focuses of this play are the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With horizontal offense becoming more common among intermediate level teams, it is very important that all teams develop a good defensive strategy against it.  Even if your team does not use horizontal offense, you should adopt strategies to defend against it.  It&#8217;s actually not that hard to defend against, in fact it can be easier, [...]]]></description>

No matter what level you&#8217;re playing at whether it&#8217;s a recreational league game, a national championship, or even just practice, there&#8217;s always a place for strong team-wide communication. One way to communicate is through short simple phrases that sometimes sound a little [...]]]></description>
