The Game We transport the ball to areas where we have the best chance to score.
We try to overcome defenders, going into the space between them or making a powerful 1 v 1 move (Fake-‐Shot). If we succeed we finish, if we don’t we pass the ball to the best situated teammate.
All of this requires handling the ball (Recep?on, Steps, Release: Shoo?ng or Passing)
