These are the plays that deserve to be on Sports Center's Top 10. Few have made it. But one day, good friends, one day.
The layout is the single best display of man's dedication to this great sport. Two types of layouts exist: the defensive and of offensive layout. The defensive layout? Running full speed ahead, jumping out entirely vertically, just tipping the disc away from the hands of an offensive player. It's glorious. The offensive layout? Same concept, the just finding enough of the plastic between the ends of ones fingertips before the disc makes any contact with the ground.
Both require dedication and self sacrifice. Both can leave beautiful battle scars. Both deserve praise and respect from ones teammates. The best way to do it? Practice. Don't be afraid of the ground, just get the disc at all costs. It may not tickle, but the incredible feeling of actually making that catch far outweighs any main that could come from hitting the ground. It's guts. It's glory. It's a layout.
