		<title>Zone Offense: Two Handler Set</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The majority of offense strategy in Ultimate places 3 handlers back with the disc, and then typically 4 cutters down field, sometimes split into pairs of two. Traditional zone offense often keeps the 3 handlers back, but then spreads the down field players into 3 mids or &#8220;poppers&#8221;, and 1 deep. An alternative to this [...]]]></description>

For some reason a combination of change of pace, more throws, and open space can pose a lot of problems.

		<title>German Offense &#8211; In the endzone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While vertical and horizontal offense are the primary styles of strategies teams have adopted, there is still the &#8220;mythical&#8221; German offense that you hear about.  It was a lot more common to hear people talk about German offense a few years ago but we thought it would be interesting to post an article about how [...]]]></description>
