Also, you should teach your kids the four-points system that we use as a basic checklist for backcourt violations. 
Lastly, all of the answers that you provided above are correct. However, and it is unfortunate, but I frequently see #9 called a violation.  |
The one that trips most of them up is #5. Probably because it sounds like a trick question after reading #4. I tried the "4 points" also, but the quiz with demonstration seemed to click in more girls.
My biggest thing a couple years ago was they assumed almost EVERYTHING was a violation. Meaning if the ball crossed the line, they were toast and would give up on the play while the defense gets an easy 2.
I saw #10 happen in a boys JV. The kid picked up his dribble, both feet in the BC, established left foot as pivot, touched his right foot in the FC, then back in the BC. After realizing he did this, and not waiting for the whistle that wasn't coming, he just dropped the ball and walked away. Easy 2.
