    Catch me if you can

  • Number of players : up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

    • Each player should partner up with someone and then proceed to stand side by side. On the coaches call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them.

    Chain Reaction

  • Divide the 20m x 20m grid in half. 1 Ball per group

    • Players 1 starts standing with the ball. Player 2 starts on one knee. Player 3 starts on both knees. Player 4 lies on their front. Player 5 lies on their back.

    On the teachers call, all players try to start running forward as quickly as possible, and pass the ball along the line. The starting positions should mean that every pass is made to a player supporting from behind.

  • Large Grid 20m x 20m. Players in groups of 5 with one ball per group

    • The leader with the ball can run in any direction. The rest of the group must follow like a snake.

The leader then joins the back of the group.
