Equipment needed : One ball per player All players will start to run around the pitch with the ball on their stick, as soon as they hear the whistle they must perform a 360 degree spin with the ball. The aim of this exercise is to enable the players to increase their reaction speed as well as their ball control skills. The 360 spin must be performed in a way that the ball is always being shielded from the other players.
