Players ask : How ?
Tag man says how the players must cross :

etc.

- tagging allowed only at certain spots on the body : back, leg, shoulder
- tag (touch) twice
- cross at a sign
- cross whenever you like
- make the area bigger/smaller
running
pay only attention to the complete technical movement
Only general corrections
Pay attention to :
Body must be in straight position,
arms moving actively along together with the movements of the legs
ellbows at right angle
All of the body should point to the direction you are going to : feet,knees,arms in same direction
