The Invert Drill is used to practice cutting, and timed cuts.

To run the drill, start with all but two players in two vertical stacks in the middle of the pitch. The first stack starts a short distance away from the handler, and players in this stack will be cutting from the front. The second stack is directly behind it, with players in this stack cutting from the back of the endzone.

The remaining players are the starting handler, who stands (with a disc) at the top the pitch; the other is the mark, who puts a force on the handler in either direction.

The drill starts with a player cutting forewards out of the front stack to the closed side. At the same time, the player in the back stack cuts backwards on the open side. Both cutters then make a 'V' cut so the back player cuts towards the handler whilst the front player heads for the end zone.

The handler throws to the back player, who recieves the disc then sends it to the open side of the endzone. If the timings are correct, the disc will arrive in the open corner of the endzone at the same time as the front player, who catches it.

The front player then goes with the disc to the top of the pitch to become the handler, the handler becomes the marker, the back player joins the front stack and the marker joins the back stack.
