• Spirit - plan to leave enough time for the new pre-game spirit circles as well as warm up, this shows respect for your teammates, opponents and yourself.
  
• Vocabulary - terms you need to know for everything else.
  
• Rules & Hand Signals - know and be ready to practice them.
  

• know line captain & members
• know your typical Offensive and Defensive roles
• if you're not going on to play this point, who can you help from the sideline?
• We want your feedback!  Focus it through a coach/(spirit) captain rather than everyone speaking in huddles or on the line.
  

• Offense:

1. handler or cutter?
2. can I beat my defender, then raise hand!
3. listen to the handler with the disc, before it gets picked up, if there is a stoppage.
   
4. On a turnover, Person defense is our default.  Immediately cover the deepest/closest threat first, then recover/switch if possible.
   

• Defense:
  
• Person: Simple tips here, but if you're feeling academic, here is my favorite talk on how to play lock-down defense and think about the game overall.
  
1. choose a smart match-up
2. count off
   
• Zone: In any version, communication always flows from the deep towards the disc, with help from the sideline.
  
1. know which one we are playing that point.
   
2. know what your role within that zone is.
   
• Turnover: immediately run to open space, regardless of your primary role.  Some of our best offensive opportunities will be before the opposing defense can mobilize.  We don't have to take them, but we want to threaten every time.
