More about this Session:

What better way to cover all the skills we've previously worked on (including handling, passing and decision making) than with a fun games session?

Basic Rules:

No contact, but gumshield advisable
No kicking of any kind
When a tag is made, the tagger stops running, holds the tag above their head and shouts "TAG!"
When the ball-carrier is tagged, the ball must be passed to a team mate within three seconds
Competitive matches should not be more than seven a side
