Organization: Split the Scholars into two groups and start out lined up on the baseline from either side of the gym (Minnows). Select and place one Scholar (Shark) in the center of the gym at halfcourt.
Description: Upon Coach’s whistle the Minnows sprint across the field to reach the opposite side without getting tagged by the Shark. If a Minnow is tagged, it becomes a Shark and goes after other Minnows. The last Minnow remaining is the winner.
Coaching Points: As in nature, the sharks must be aggressive in hunting the minnows. They should commit fully to locking in on and tagging the closest minnow.
