Thanks Dean – This makes a lot of sense, and I'm looking forward to using it. By the way I read everything I could get my hands on from the long list of game sense and TGFU resources….we've been playing handball with varying rules and enjoying it very much. I just got Tony Wagner's book too….Thanks for all the info.

No problem Dave; you're welcome. I just received several more books today and will post the titles when I get a chance. A few more are on order. (Im)patiently waiting!

Handball is the great equalizer. Most kids can run, pass, catch, etc. Removes the skill advantages and disadvantages… once they master handball games, try playing the same games / rules with floorball or floor hockey sticks – this will provide better transfer to the ice.

My principal friend and I are still writing an article for the school board using Tony Wagner's book as a framework – I will post it when it is finished.

Cheers!
