Which ability is NOT required for a cutter?

• A. Throwing Ability
• B. Running
• C. Catching
• D. Knowledge of Basic Plays

Answer: (A)

A cutter’s job is to move quickly and create open space, then secure the disc when it’s his or her chance to catch. The essential abilities are running to beat defenders and getting open, and catching to complete the completion once the disc comes in range. Throwing is not needed for a cutter because throwing duties typically belong to the handlers who initiate the plays. Knowledge of basic plays helps with timing and positioning, but a cutter can perform the role without knowing every play, as long as they can run clean routes and catch reliably.
