4. Decision Making

Things are about to get a lot tougher in this penultimate tag session - more defenders mean more decisions for your attackers - can they think fast enough to find the space?

OFTEN USED WITH...

Game - 6 vs 4:

Pitch is 20m x 20m. All players wearing Tag Belts

Start the game with a free pass, defenders must start behind the half way line

Attacking players must try to run past defenders to score a try. If tagged, the attacker must pass the ball to a team mate. After a tackle, the defenders must give the tag back, stay on their own side of the ball and NOT intercept or obstruct the pass.

Bull Dog:

Large Grid 30m x 30m. Start with 5 defenders in the middle, everybody else stands at one end of the grid wearing tags.

On the coach's call all attackers try to run past the 5 defenders and get to the opposite side of the grid.

Attackers that are tagged join the defenders in the middle, the game keeps going until there are no attackers left.
