Hi Onny

It all depends on your teams skill level and what you are trying to get across to them.

I would suggest trying to incorporate the skills that you wanted to practice, either by video or on the white board. This is also a great opportunity to also go over the rules for these specific plays and for the adult teams how to improve their game without breaking the rules (ie getting the most out of the rules)

Regards
