The hands are together and the stick comes back and forward in a manner similar to a shortened golf swing. The stick cannot be lifted higher than the shoulder in the backswing or follow-through. Drive shots can be straight, to the left, or to the right. Have students spread out and practice shooting in a stationary position. Students dribble with head up and shoot on cue. Students will take turns and see how many shots out of ten can be made in the target. The student with the most shots in the target is the winner.
