Alternating Matchups

by Jeff Eastham-Anderson


It's too bad you can't put the World's Greatest Defender on this person, because they sound like they are the World's Best Offensive Player. 

I would probably get two defenders to alternate defensive points with the intention of solely guarding this person. Ideally, one defender would be the quick/squirrelly type with a good mark to challenge him around the disc and apply pressure on the mark. The second defender would be fast and preferably able to out-jump this person, with the intention of continuing to push him deep (but maybe not quite as much as in the first half). The idea behind two defenders with two different objectives is to keep this offensive person off balance. Requiring a person to constantly switch roles in order to be effective is preferable to letting them stay in whatever zone they are in. 

Starting the second half, have the quick marker start out (because the offender is already in a groove going deep), and unless they are wildly successful (i.e. handblock), switch defenders the next O point. If a couple cycles of that doesn't work, there's always zone until half-field.
