Hi Rebeka, to explain the frying pan grip to a 10-year-old, you can say: "Imagine you're holding a frying pan with both hands. Hold the hockey stick with both hands, making sure the flat side of the stick is facing upwards. This is how you hold the stick for a reverse sweep, just like holding a frying pan to flip pancakes!" You can refer to more details on this grip 1 here.
For the reverse sweep, explain it like this: "The reverse sweep is like using a broom to sweep the floor. You hold the stick with the frying pan grip and sweep the ball across the ground with a smooth motion. It's like sweeping the floor with a broom, but you're sweeping the ball instead!" You can find more about the reverse stick shot 2 here.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more information.
