1) Mark out a square coned area (size dependent on number and ability of participants) 2) Participants stand in the coned area, all players need a stick and a ball and are now known as `fishes`. The aim of the fishes is to dribble inside the coned area keeping contact with their ball at all times and preventing the `sharks` from stealing their ball. 3) Two participants are chosen to be the `sharks`, the `sharks` do not have a ball of their own and their aim is to tackle the `fishes` and successful win their ball. Once a ball is won the `sharks` must dribble the ball safely to the edge of the area and then continue to steal the `fishes` balls. 4) Once a `fishes` ball has been lost they must stand beside the coach outside the playing area until the next round commences. 5) The last `fish` remaining in the area with their ball is the winner!
