on the development of a game technique. Challenges
to the development of the technique may be gradually introduced

of improvement in the players performance.

bond of technique and decision-making. The practice contains
objectives for all players that are derived from the technical
theme being practiced. Appropriate areas, the number of players
involved and imposed conditions will vary around the skill
theme for development. |
