Rule game:
- Attacking team can’t take any ball unless defenders are on ball side + marking the players on the ball side
Bonuspoint
- If you are defending, you need to be on the ball side. If all attacking players are marked by the defenders= 1 bonus point .
Goal 1: repeat: what is ball/ help side .
Goal 2: repeat why do you make spaces small when you need to defend
- small spaces = more difficult to score.
- Small spaces mean stress for attacker= easier to make mistakes.
- small spaces means attacker needs to have good skills to hold the ball => most of time it pops of his stick
NEW: on ball side you always mark a man.
WHY: most likely he will get a ball. If he gets the ball, you want the space between you to very small for same reason as whole team.
