Volleyball: Knee tag

I can't get enough of Sportplan. It's given me back the enthusiasm...

Cornel

DESCRIPTION

Partners stand facing each other about arms distance apart, one of the partners is the tagger who tries to touch the partner on the knee the other has to avoid being tagged whilst remaining close.

COACHING POINTS

The players should bend mainly at the knees not at the waist (danger of banging heads if bend at waist).

Both players should be in a well balanced ready position so they can move and change direction at any time.

You can play this game by one being the tagger and changing when they get tagged or both being taggers at the same time in a competition, counting how many times you can tag your partner.
