1. Adopt ready position.

2. Progress to blocking position (strong side). This is also the starting point for dribbling.

3. Pupils practice moving an imaginary ball in this position using short back strokes, i.e., not lifting the hurl over knee level as they move in a circle around the teacher.

4. Encourage pupils to change direction of ball when dribbling by using alternate sides of the bas.

Points to note:

• Pupil loses control of the ball because:
• Hurl is swung too far back i.e., higher than knee level.
• Ball is struck too far in front.
