Goal:
- teaching basic dribbling position
Mom what time is it?
- 1 player behind midline = mom
- rest players with ball at back line
- players dribble close to mom, have ball on stick and ask " mom what time is it?".
- Mom can answer times, but when she shouts "BEDTIME" it means she can tag players !!
- players have to dribble (= with ball onto stick) behind the backline without being tagged.
- if tagged or not dribbling over line with ball onto stick= one figure 8 dribble at B and they can join again.
- rotate mom's.
Variation:
2 mom's
Basic dribbling position:
- Grip: 2 hands apart, double V grip
- Ball in front of you (right side)
- Stick 45 degrees with ground=
a manawatu river between you and the ball to be able to trick opponents
- Left under arm, wrist and stick are straight.
- left elbow out (and high) from body, right arm also loose
head up.
