Definitions

1. Flexion- the action of bending.

2. Extention- straightening of a body part.

3. Abduct-movement that draws the limb away from the body in the sagittal plane.

4. Adduct- movement that brings the limb toward the body in the sagittal plane.

5. Internal Rotation- rotation toward the center of the body.

6. External Rotation- rotation away from the center of the body.

7. Sagittal Plane-where forward and backward movements occur.

8. Forearm flexors- muscles in the forearm near the ulna.

9. Ulnar Deviation- wrist is bent outward.

10. Radial Deviation- wrist is bent inward.

11. Pronation-the rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces up.

12. Supination-A rotation of the forearm that moves the palm facing up to facing down.

13. Quadriceps- large muscle made up of four parts in the thigh.

14. Posterior- toward the back of the body.

15. Anterior- toward the front of the body.

16. Transverse Plane- rotational movements.

17. Longitudinal axis-axis around which rotational movements occur

18. Elevation- to raise.

19. Midline- imaginary line cutting the body vertically in the middle.

20. Eversion- the movement of the foot outward.

21. Horizontal Adduction- bring a body part closer to the mid-line or center of the body in the horizontal plane.

22.Brachioradialis – muscle in the forearm near the radius.

23. Frontal Plane- movements that occur away from the midline of the body


24. Reciprocal motion - Alternating motion in opposing directions, such as the elbow alternating between flexion and extension.

25. Quadrangular muscle- muscle that pronates the forearm.

Sweep Stance

Step 1: Place ball an arm and stick length away, in line with your front foot

Step 2: Stand an arm and a stick length away from the ball

Step 3: Abduct the right leg in the sagittal plane.

Step 4: Hold stick at the top with both hands

Step 5: Hold stick in front of body off the ground

Sweep Approach

Step 1:Flex the left knee and bring the leg forward.

Step 2: Flex the superior half of the body from the transverse plane, so the stick and knuckles are touching the ground

Step 3: Stick is turned opposite direction of the ball

Sweep Movement

Step 1: Keep both arms extended.
Step 2: When stick is on the ball, use an ulnar and radial deviation (flicking the wrist which makes contact on the ball and moves it).

Step 3: Keep hands close to the ground

Sweep Follow Through

Step 1: Once stick makes contact with ball, let your arms follow the forward movement

Step 2:  As your arms swing forward with the stick, back foot comes forward

Sweep Finish

Step 1: Left foot comes forward from anterior to posterior of the body.

Step 2: Finish in athletic position

Air Dribble Video

Air Dribble Stance

Step 1: Place ball directly in front of you

Step 2: Dominant hand placed at the end of the stick grip, other hand holds the top of the stick

Step 3: Stand directly behind the ball

Step 4: Dominant foot is abducted in the frontal plane.

Step 5: Knees are flexed, the quadricep muscles are contracted.

Air Dribble Approach

Step 1: Place body weight on the front foot

Step 2:  Flex the superior half of the body from the transverse plane; so the stick is able to touch the ground

Step 3: Place stick on the ground so it is touching the ball

Air Dribble Movement

Step 1: With the stick, press against the ground toward the ball to get under it and elevate the ball.

Step 2: Once the ball is off the ground and on the end of your stick, contract the brachioradialis and forearm flexors to deviate the wrist radially.

Step 3: As the ball comes back down, line the stick up under it as if you were “catching” it and deviate the wrist ulnarly.

Air Dribble Repitition

Step 1: When the ball comes back down, radial and ulnar deviation will be repeated in reciprocal motion.

Step 2: Keep eye on the ball as you repeat this until the ball hits the ground

Air Dribble Finish

Step 1: Once the ball drops, stand in athletic position or repeat the process

Flick Stance

Step 1: abduct the non dominant foot forward in the frontal plane.

Step 2: externally rotate the non dominant foot.

Step 3: Place ball in front of the back foot a stick length away

Step 4:  Hold the stick with dominant hand at the end of the grip and other hand holding the top of the stick

Step 5: flex the back knee and put body weight on the back foot

Step 6: Place stick on the ground touching the ball

Flick Approach

Step 1: Drag the ball with the stick from the back foot to the front foot in a forward motion

Step 2: do a horizontal adduction with the back leg toward the bodies midline 

Flick Movement

step 1: externally rotate the front leg and evert the foot; tilt the stick to get under the ball

Step 2:  Shift body weight from back to front foot

Step 3: With the stick tilted under the ball, use your upper extremities to elevate the stick and ball into the air

Flick Follow Through

Step 1: As you lift the ball your arms are extended.Step 2: the torso and arms follow the stick along the transverse plane
Step 3: Once the ball has left the stick, pronate the lower hand and supinate the top hand using the quadrangular muscles.

Flick Recovery

Step 1: internal rotation and adduction of the back leg.
Step 2: Finish in athletic position
