Start with one catcher, catcher makes two handed touch or takes tag/bib.
Attackers carry balls and try to run to other side without being caught

Ball in two hands at all times
Evasion- footwork, side steps, change of direction, change of pace
Catchers- low body position, legs close to attacker.
Progression:
Two ranks of catchers
Introduce coloured bibs- colours cant catch to emphasise scanning.
