DESCRIPTION

Place 4 players on the sides of a 5m grid and place a 5th (tackler) in the middle of the grid.

Give the ball to 1 of the players on the side of the grid.

On the whistle the player with the ball runs across the grid, trying to beat the tackler in the middle.

The player opposite the ball carrier becomes the second defensive player and helps tackle the ball carrier or tries to poach the ball when the tackle is made.
