DESCRIPTION

Mark out a small area, typically 1/3 of the court (depends on group size).

Select someone to be the tagger. All the playes in the group have balls and on the coach's call start to dribble around the area.

On the coach's second call the tagger starts to dribble with their ball after the other members of the group, trying to tag them. If they successfully tag someone then they now become the tagger.

Tag Relay:

Setup the cones as shown.

All players have a ball each.

Split the group into two teams one of which is taggers and the others are trying to escape.

On the whistle both teams start dribbling (anti-clockwise)around the cones. The taggers have to try and catch the other team. If they do they go back to the beginning.

Passing Relays:

Pass the ball around the outside of the cones. While another team is running a rely around the outside square.

How many passes can the passing team do in the time the realy team runs. Then vice-versa.

Pairs Tag:

Everyone starts with a ball and finds a partner. Each pair will need a ball each and they have to dribble around within a suitable area whilst holding the hand of their partner.

The coach nominates people to be the catchers. These people can dribble around freely (without having to link arms) and try and tag someone. If they do then the person they tag becomes a catcher and they take their place.
