In hot box play, what serves as the end zone for both teams?

• A. The sidelines
• B. The 4' by 4' box in the middle
• C. End line
• D. The entire playing area

Answer: (B)

In hot box play, scoring is defined by getting the disc into a small central area that both teams share as the end zone. That 4' by 4' box in the middle is the target for scoring for either team, making it a neutral, mutual end zone rather than using the usual field ends. The drill compresses play so every possession is directed toward this tiny box, which emphasizes quick decision-making, accuracy, and tight spatial awareness.

The sidelines and end lines aren’t the scoring area in this setup; they function as boundaries. The entire playing area isn’t used as a scoring zone either, since the purpose of hot box is to concentrate scoring into that central box.
