Game assignment:
- every attempt to change direction if close to opponents stick= 3 pnts
- with free hit attempt to fake= 4 pnt. (let them be creative)
Stimulate the kids to do pull backs or indian dribble in this game.
NB 1. Every attempt deserves points.
NB 2 if attempt is succesful then maybe give bonus points
If player take free hit without fake, let them take free hit again and challenge to fake (with body and ball)
Tip 1 : sometimes ask them to freeze during game- show instead of dribbling ball through stick- go around by pulling back.
