The idea of the game is to get rid of all of the balls on your side of the pitch. This game is ideally aimed at children with a small understanding of tag. With each player wearing a tag belt and 2 tags, players must take it in turns running from one side of the pitch to get rid of their balls. The defensive team must stay within the channel and if they grab a tag off of a ball carrier then the ball carrier must return to their try line before someone else can leave.
Identifying space - eyes up looking for any turns of shoulders or mismatches. Attack the line at speed running forward - if a player hesitates then it becomes easy for the defence.
