Arrowhead Zone
Sections
The Basics
The zone looks like this. As you can see, it makes the shape of an arrow, which is why we call it arrowhead. This zone is very useful in windy conditions, especially when the other team are going up-wind.
In a zone, players each have a position that they fill instead of a person that they mark. The positions are labelled in the diagram. The chase should always use a flat force on the disc.
Movement
The arrowhead moves around with the disc, with the chase and barbs always following it and the mid always staying behind them. This is shown in the animation below.
Sideline Trap
When the disc is on the sideline, it is a great opportunity to trap the opposition in. We do this by altering our positioning slightly, as shown below.
The chase adjusts their positioning to go around the player on disc so that they are almost behind them. This stops them from dumping the disc back towards the centre. The barbs rotate around with one of them stopping throws horizontally across the pitch and the other blocking throws up the line. The mid should come in closer than usual to get between the barbs and stop throws into the middle of the pitch.
