being used sparingly by few teams. It’s very
uncommon to see an L Stack for beginner
teams and is best suited for experienced teams
with a speed advantage. A L Stack is exactly
what it sounds like, a stack that is shaped like a
L. There are many ways to create a L Stack and
this example below is just one way of using the
strategy
The formation consists of 2-3 handlers back
and then a stack of players that are slightly
slanted and isolated from one side of the field.
The L Stack gives lane cutters and handlers a
lot of space to cut on the field. It’s almost like
a vertical stack but with much more emphasis
on having the cutting player isolated on one
side. The demonstration below shows a typical
vertical stack turning into a L stack.
This L Stack above is actually just like a
flooded stack. In fact, it is good to treat the L
Stack as a form of isolation. Thus, a L Stack is
best suited for athletic teams that prefer 1 on 1
match ups with lots of space to cut. This is just
a brief look at the L Stack but we’ll be following
this up with another look at how the L Stack
flows. It’s meant to be a very dynamic stack that
allows handlers and lane cutters to fill into each
others position.
