own time. Phase 1 – set up a stack with a forcing marker on the passer. Make cuts to the open side and complete each pass. Phase 2 – Same as phase 1, but passer does not make every pass to the cutter. Therefore cutter needs to ‘clear-out’ and re-join the stack when not passed too. Phase 3 – Same as phase 2 and work way down the playing field to complete a score. Re-setting stack everytime. Only 10 seconds between catching and releasing disc – therefore stack needs to be reformed within 10 seconds. 2nd cut drill: passer to first cutter, who then moves the frisbee onto the last cutter.
