Sharks and Fish

Half the players have balls and the other half don't have balls. The players without the balls are the sharks and the players with the balls are fishes. The sharks to start with should stay still and then place their sticks out for the players to use 3D skills to get over. Time a minute and see how many sticks the players can get over then pause and let the sharks give feedback before they should then try to do it again and beat the score with the feedback taken on. After the second round get the players to switch over the balls so there is new sharks and fishes. Repeat the exercise. The players should be looking to try to trick the player into which way they are going before doing the skill. The feedback from the sharks should focus on the height of the ball, how well they knew what the player was going to do and if the skill was executed correctly or not by the player themselves. Encourage the players to try the techniques of all three skills to eliminate the players. If one skill is being used more then the others then put a temporary ban on that skill. You could also have 15 seconds of each of the skills and then the last 15 seconds could be a free style. It important to explain to attacker that if they do the same skill over and over again the defenders will know what they are doing and be able to tackle to stop stop that specific technique. 1. The players should be looking to eliminate the sharks with 3D skills. If they would like they could use other skills such as the left-to-right or V-drag and then use a bit of 3D. The timing and being able to stay calm under pressure is really important in this drill.
