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.
