About the AuthorMy name is Matthew Kahl. I am a mathematics major and computer science minor. I hope to help high school students develop their writing skills along with their critical thinking skills regarding computers and mathematics.
I grew up in Clinton Twp., MI and went to Chippewa Valley High School. Once attending Grand Valley State University, I was turned on to the sport of ultimate frisbee. This was my motivation for creating this tutorial.

Strategies
• Offensive Strategy– A “stack” is commonly used where
offensive players line up in a vertical formation and each player makes a cut toward either side of the stack in an attempt to lose a defender
– The horizontal stack is used as well, which is similar to the stack but formed horizontally.QuitQuit
