End Zone Offense

Once we are close to the end zone, we move to a variation of the center-stack offense.  This is keyed by an audible “End Zone” which both cools people down and lets everyone know that they’re in the critical zone.  To run end zone:

Initial Setup

• Stack in the middle of the end zone.  Stack can be slightly angled so that the front of the stack is close to in front of the disc.
• Handlers in front, Mids/Deeps set up in the back of the end zone (the very back of the end zone).
• There is no dump.
• When you call “end zone” in flow, there is usually some chaos (or else you wouldn’t have called it).  In this case, you look first for a swing.
• Off a stopped disc or a well-formed stack, the first cut is a scoring cut to the near cone.

The Cuts

• The scoring cut is from the back of the stack to the near-side front cone.  Ignore the force.
• Cutters should run full-speed, without juking, directly to the front cone.  Never break off this cut.
• Run through any poach.
• The reset is the handler in the front of the stack to the wide side of the field.
• Continue from the back of the stack to the opposite-side front cone.
