If you are playing defense and the disc is turned-over to your team, don’t pick up the disc unless you are a handler. No matter how tempting it may be, don’t pick it up. Get downfield as fast as you can and take your place in the stack. If you are a handler, don’t hurry to the disc unless you see an immediate play – give your offense time to get down the field and set up a clean stack. If you are on offense and your team turns it over, look for the closest player to guard (usually the player that was guarding you) and stay with them.

Above all, communicate with your team: yell out who you have, and let them know if anyone remains unguarded. A team that talks to each other will make less mistakes and will cover any mistakes that they do make.
