Playing person-to-person defense starts with a good force and everyone
denying the person that they are covering to get open on the forced
side of the field. The following figure explains.
Often times when playing person-to-person defense, the disc will begin
on the sideline or work its way there. A team may take advantage of
this by forcing the disc up the sideline and allowing one person to play in the
narrow passing lane. This set up is called a sideline trap and is shown
below. When a defender sits in the passing lane guarding
no specific player while the other defenders still play person-to-person,
this defender is said to be poaching.
