Mark-n-Bark
A receiver stands about 15 feet away from the thrower/marker pair. The
receiver does not move. The marker starts a stall count at 6, and usually
marks straight up. Thrower must somehow get disc to receiver.

If there are only 3 people, then the thrower immediately runs over to the
receiver and starts marking. The previous marker stays where he is and
becomes the new receiver.

With 4 people, people stay where they are.

Strengths: Good drill for marking technique and for pivoting on offense.
With 3 people, allows thrower to work on a quick first step for a give n'
go opportunities. One of the best drills for allowing instruction to
developing players.

Comments: Markers invariably forget to call UP, or if they do, they say
it too late or too softly. Make sure people yell it out quickly.

This is a good drill for marking technique. Keep hands low!

Offense is forced to pivot, otherwise D will camp out.

Markers should practice marking close to the thrower's body.

Works better with 3 people because of the extra running, and because of
the quick-first-step practice.

This drill is a good format to help weaker players improve through
instruction.
