Correct Answer
A. Keep my foot flat to the ground and parallel (level) with my other foot and I would want to get back spin on the ballExplanation
To stab chip the ball, it is important to keep the foot flat to the ground and parallel with the other foot. This technique helps in achieving accuracy and control over the shot. Additionally, the player would want to get back spin on the ball when it hits the ground. Back spin creates lift and allows the ball to stay low and accurate, making it difficult for the opponent to defend or intercept.Rate this question:

While my team mate overlaps me, I would want to move the ball in what direction?
- A.
Towards my team mate
- B.
Forwards, but in the same direction as my team mate
- C.
Forwards, but in the opposite direction to my team mate
Correct Answer
C. Forwards, but in the opposite direction to my team mateExplanation
When the team mate overlaps, it means that they are moving forward in the same direction as the ball. In order to create space and maintain the team's attacking momentum, the player should move the ball forward as well. However, since the team mate is already moving in the same direction, the player should move the ball forwards but in the opposite direction to their team mate. This will help to create separation between the two players and provide more options for the team's attack.Rate this question:
