Attendance Notes: Numbers were unnacceptably low this morning. Just because you've made the team does not mean that you get to walk onto the field at Nationals and play. You have to earn every point you play by coming to practice and working hard. Just 12 practices left before Nats.

Review:

-Warm-up
-Lotto
-Magnum drill: This drill simulates what goes on in the Ho stack. The 3 handlers have a few options

1. Cutters 3 and 4 do out-in and clear cuts respectively, starting at stall minus 1. The job of cutters 1 and 2 at this point is to keep the stack spread and look to time their cuts off of what happens. The handler with the disc gives an upfield look for 2-3 stalls and then commits to his resets.
2. If the far side handler is being poached, he calls "shoulder" to make the middle handler aware. Middle handler cuts up the line and does not come back, opening up the field for the far side handler to get the dump. Once the disc is in the middle, he should look to swing it further across the field to cutter 1.
3. The most basic play is to run berkely cuts and swing the disc. These have to be hard up the line and back or fake back field and bust hard up the line.

-Scrimmage: Black wins game to 3. Things were looking good in terms of keeping the stack spread. We need consistent attendance so that each play can learn his roll on the team
