What to do One player starts as the defender in the centre of the playing area. When the defender calls âGo!â, the runners attempt to cross to the other side of the playing area. When a runner is tagged they stick together by with the other defender by holding hands. A runner can only be tagged when the chain is unbroken. When the chain tags a sixth player, the game ends and any remaining runners are declared the winners.

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.
