Keep Ball:

Groups of 5. Grid 10 m x 10 m and 1 Ball per group.

Score a Try:

Grids 10m x 10m. 1 Ball per group. Groups of 5

Players take it in turns to be the defender in the middle (4 tackles then change). The attackers take turns to try and run past the defender and score a try.

1 tag - Defender scores 1 point.

Score a try - attacker scores 1 point.

If tagged the attacker returns to the start and the next player goes.

Catch me if you can:

Number of players : up to 10 in a group. Each player should have a tag belt.

Each player should partner up with someone and then proceed to stand side by side. On the coaches call the players run to that sideline. If the coach calls 1 for example they have to run to the sideline before the 2s can catch them.
