This is a debate we need. Personally, I don't like the new rules as they
currently stand, not for juniors anyway. I think we need to amend the 2
Metre rule at least. We started playing the rules from last week, and when
some of the players are only 1.4 metres, they got exploited by having the
disc sail way over their heads (but below 2 metres) and the D got there in
time to pin the thrower to the back wall.
Also, when beginners are lacking in confidence, it encourages the puller to
throw it as fast as possible in their general direction knowing they won't
attempt to catch it. Not exactly in keeping with the spirit of the game.
Open players that have played the new rules seem to like them. I think they
would be good for experienced teams, but I'm not convinced they are a step
forward for juniors teams.
Views please?
Kevin.
