3rd grade girls: One little girl dribbled the ball off her foot and it went rolling away from her. One of my players ran after the ball, picked it up, and ran with it back to the original girl. As she handed it over to the other girl she said "Here, you lost it. Try to be more careful next time."
We all had a great big set of grins over that one, but in the next practice I told all the girls to think that the ball was their favorite Beanie Baby. Anytime somebody from the other team had their Beanie, they were going to steal it and take it home.
