| If the marker is forcing the thrower, your positioning on defense changes accordingly. A throw shouldn’t come through the force (through the area the marker is blocking off) so you can move off your player a bit, protecting the area that the marker is leaving open. If your player starts to cut into this open area, keep between them and the thrower, and keep your arms out to block any passes you might not see. Listen for “up” calls – if your back is to the thrower you’ll need all the help you can get to know where the disc is. In the illustration, the marker is forcing sideline. (The defensive positioning is similar if the marker is forcing middle.) |  |
