Balls, Cones, Tag BeltsDescription
- Start with group in 20m x 20m square (Diagram not to scale)
- Select 3 players to be catchers/defenders
- All players to wear Tag Belts & Defenders must try to Tag Tackle the Attackers
- Catchers to try and remove a Tag from an Attacker
- If tagged, Attacker must then stand arms out until they are freed by another player by running under their arm (front to back) who then picks up the tag and returns it to the freed attacker.
- If Tag is removed then defenders must hold Tag above their heads to demonstrate a successful Tag tackle and place Tag at the feet of the Tag tackled attacker.
