Angle Pursuit

Updated November 3, 2026 · 1 min read

Setup

A runner on the sideline, a defender 10 yards inside and 5 yards up the field. You need: Flag belts, 6 cones.

How it runs

1. On "go" the runner sprints up the sideline.
2. The defender takes the angle to cut her off, not chase her.
3. Pull the flag before she reaches the end cone.

Coach it

• Aim where she will be, not where she is.
• Use the sideline as an extra defender.
• Breakdown before the pull.
