    Tag: Setting the Flank


    Setting the Flank is a skill used to create lateral, cooperative movement. To Set the Flank a disc is thrown laterally, usually to 10 or 2 o clock in order to create useful angles for cooperative play.

    Throwing out in front or directly out to the side creates linear chase and linear approaches. These lines are not very flexible and often hard to work with when it comes to flow, sequencing, and creative transitional play.
