What to do Players are split into two even teams and start in their half of the playing area. Three footballs are placed behind each teamâs scoreline. On your signal, players run into the opposing teamâs half in an attempt to retrieve a ball. If successful in retrieving a ball, the player runs back to place the ball on their scoreline (players with a ball canât be tagged). If a player is tagged in the oppositionâs half, they must go to jail. A player can be rescued from jail with a âhigh fiveâ from a team-mate. Once released from jail, both players must walk back to their own half around the outside of the area, before rejoining the game. > The winning team is the one who collects all six balls or has the most balls when âTime!â is called

Most line breaks are made by support runners, not ball carriers. Teach the angles, depth and timing that get them there.

Tacklers are aiming lower, so carriers who dip late put heads at risk. Teach footwork, a strong early body height and leg drive to win the collision safely.
