  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

• 4 cones to set up a square

Procedure

The exercise begins with one player being "it." The rest of the players move inside the field. Once "it" tags a player, that player also becomes "it" and joins hands with the original tagger. Hand in hand, the two taggers continue to tag other players. If four or more players are part of the tagging chain, they can split into two separate chains. A round ends when all players have been tagged.

Tip

Coaching Points

• Communication between players
• Perform body feints to confuse the taggers
