What are some ways to defend against a fast cutter in Ultimate Frisbee?

A fast cutter is a type of offensive player in Ultimate Frisbee who is responsible for making quick, cutting movements to get open for a pass. They are often very fast and agile, which can make them difficult to defend. However, there are a few ways to defend against a fast cutter:

  1. Stay close to the cutter. The closer you are to the cutter, the harder it will be for them to get open. Stay within a few feet of them at all times, and be prepared to move with them if they change direction.
  2. Force the cutter to the outside. If the cutter is on the inside, they will have a shorter distance to run to get open. Force them to the outside by staying between them and the disc.
  3. Communicate with your teammates. It is important to communicate with your teammates to ensure that everyone is covering their cutters. If you see a cutter getting open, call out to your teammate to cover them.
  4. Be physical. If the cutter is getting too close, don't be afraid to get physical. Push them away or block them with your body. However, be careful not to be too aggressive, as this could result in a foul.
  5. Stay focused. It is important to stay focused on the cutter at all times. If you lose track of them for even a second, they could get open for a pass.
