3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils might believe that by dodging they will always create space and outwit the defender. Pupils dodge to find a space then stand still waiting for a pass. Correction: Pupils need to remember that the defenders role is to respond to the dodge, therefore they may need to dodge again and look for new space. Persevering with this technique will help pupils successfully outwit their opponent.
