Adjective \emph{offensive}, \emph{defensive} and verb \emph{offend}, \emph{defend} are identical in both dialects.} sessions are interleaved with four defensive ones, so that each defensive idea lands shortly after the offence it must counter. Every theme appears twice. The 2:1 asymmetry across `O` and `D` reflects our social-level Ultimate, where defensive blocks can be farmed and opposing offences eventually turf the disc themselves. \begin{center}\sffamily\footnotesize \setlength{\tabcolsep}{6pt}\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.92}% \begin{tabular}{r l l c} \toprule Week & Type & Theme & Iteration \\ \midrule 1 & Offence & Vertical & 1st \\ 2 & Offence & Horizontal & 1st \\ 3 & Defence & Match & 1st \\ 4 & Offence & Vertical & 2nd \\ 5 & Offence & Diagonal & 1st \\ 6 & Offence & Zone & 1st \\ 7 & Defence & Zone & 1st \\ 8 & Offence & Horizontal & 2nd \\ 9 & Defence & Match & 2nd \\ 10 & Offence & Zone & 2nd \\ 11 & Defence & Zone & 2nd \\ 12 & Offence & Diagonal & 2nd \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} \subsection{Training structure} Every session runs for two hours and follows the same five-block shape. \begin{center}\sffamily\footnotesize \setlength{\tabcolsep}{6pt}\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.92}% \begin{tabular}{r l l} \toprule $t$~(min) & Item & Notes \\ \midrule 0 & 0.~Precedent & week's theme stated up front \\ 0 & 1.~Warm up & throwing $\to$ small drill (later weeks) \\ 30 & 2.~Technique & progressions \\ 60 & 3.~Strategy & game-realistic scenarios \\ 90 & 4.~Scrim & with focus on (2) and (3); add a rule! \\ 110 & 5.~Conditioning & \\ 120 & --- end --- & \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} \subsection*{Note on references} In-text drill references take the form \bijl{X.Y}{N}, pointing to chapter/section and printed page in Hildo Bijl's \emph{Ultimate Trainer's Manual}.
