Coaches Objective:
To teach the attacking player to give the impression of attacking the defenders open stick side before eliminating on the defenders reverse stick side.
Purpose:
There is a much greater chance of a succesful elimintion on the defenders reverse stick side. By getting them to commit on their open stick side, creates a great opportunity to eliminate the other way to then pass or shoot.
The ball is moved relatively slowly right to the reverse side of the defender - keep the ball out infront at all times.
A quick drag to the defender's open side will shift their balance and with commit them to this side.
