DESCRIPTION

The player starts on the inside of the first tackle bag.

On the whistle he moves past the bag, pulling it back and toward the ground as he runs past.

He then holds his position with "fast feet" on the spot until he hears the whistle and then "swims" past the next bag , and does the same.
