Each Red and blue starts with a ball each. Reds try to get across to a new side without being tagged by a blue. The only conditions are that blues must stay in there allocated square and the reds can only have two maximum per side of the square, if it's full go elsewhere or stay with the ball on the inside. Progress by allowing blues to tackle. Players can now think about shielding the ball if needed? When may they need to do this? Perhaps when a side is full and they need to either wait until space is available or they're going to go elsewhere. Perhaps start by doing some one v one in a box shielding the ball challenges.
