Re: Have You Trained Your Human Player Today?

As one of two HPs for our team, I've found that the big difference in matches in terms of behind the DS is awareness of the trident player. In both of the regionals I've been to, the dominant strategy between human players was to have the trident player ready, holding the trident out to the goal when a ball came in, and the goal player just stuffing the ball into the trident. The return times were excellent with this method, I don't think a single ball was dropped in the matches I played in. The trident player also had that extra time to be careful when loading the return ramp.
