Tactics Which direction to choose to force in the first place is determined by the marker, but influenced by a number of factors. Often a team will have a plan in advance for which way to force in any given situation. These include: Force Middle The thrower is always forced towards the middle of the field. This is quite common, as it stops teams from stringing a number of passes together down a sideline („Flow“). Force Line (Trap) The thrower is always forced towards the nearest sideline. This is used against teams with weaker throwers, as it leaves only a very small area on the side of the field for the thrower to throw into. The disadvantage is that with good throwers, it leaves the endzone fairly open, and makes goals off one or two passes much more likely. Force to a Particular Side Always force to a particular side eg „Force clubhouse“, regardless of where the thrower is. This is easy for both marker and defender as they always know how to mark up, but suffers from the same danger as force line. Force Wind The thrower is always forced into/against the wind. This is also effective against weak throwers. Trap For One The first throw is forced towards the nearest sideline, but after that, the plan reverts to some other force. This is designed to make the first pass difficult, but removes the disadvantage of always forcing line. Force Up Force up, or force straight up, means that the marker stands directly in front of the thrower, and does not force to a particular side. This is usually only used for a couple of seconds, to prevent the thrower getting a quick pass away. The marker then reverts to a directional force. It may however be used effectively to stop teams who are hucking a lot, but places a heavy load on the defenders. It can also be used against weak throwers. Basic Marking Marking is an active process, not a passive one. It involves reacting to whatever the thrower is doing to try to make any throw a more difficult one. The harder the marker works, and the better the mark, the less work defenders have to do to shut down their receivers. So how do you put a good mark on a thrower? The following are general tips to improve your marking if you are not already doing them: Keep on the Balls of Your Feet You have to be able to react and move quickly, and this is not possible if you are back on your heels. You have much better balance if you are leaning slightly forwards. 34
Keep Your Weight Low Crouch down, or at least bend your knees slightly. If you are marking well you should feel the effort in your quads. This allows you to get your hands low and also gives you much better balance. Keep Your Hands Low and Arms Spread This also helps your balance. Obviously though, if you are trying to prevent a high throw, that arm will have to be up. In general, the arm on the force side should always be as low as possible, since it is much harder to throw a good throw from higher up. Learn to Read Fakes Many throwers make weak fakes without ever intending to throw. If you can pick these up, you will not be sucked in to following them and leaving an easy throw open. Don’t Over-commit on the Open Side It is not your job to block an open side throw. That is the defenders’ responsibility. If you let the thrower break because you tried too hard to block an open side throw, that is your fault. Call „UP!“ Loudly When the Thrower Throws This allows the defenders to glance around to see where the disc is, since they will otherwise be watching the receivers. If the throw is hucked, call „Up long“, to allow the people marking the opposing deep players time to see the disc. [4] Advanced Marking All of the Basic Marking tips are generalizations. Most of the tips will apply to most players, but for really good marking, nothing beats knowing the thrower. If you know which throws a thrower prefers, which fakes they use and how they like to break the force, you can modify your marking style and you are far more likely both to get hand blocks and mark more effectively. There are also times in the game when a standard mark is inappropriate, and something different is called for. Being able to recognize these situations is important, and knowing how to react to them even more so. Hands High/Low? Usually it is better to keep both your hands low, since low throws tend to be more dangerous, but this is not always the case. If you are marking a player who likes hammers or high backhands then it may be wise to keep your right hand up. This gives you a chance of blocking either of these high release throws. 35
