This is what I always say to all the starters:
"The rules are a little different when I'm working alone.
1. I will try to stay out of the play, but if I'm not as fast as the ball, you're going to have to work around me.
2. Please chase the ball for me, and be honest about the OOB's.
3. No one is allowed to foul if I'm not looking. "
Girls always laugh at that last one, boys never do.
Last game I started alone, there wasn't a single foul until my partner showed up about five minutes into the game!!
