How Many Bunny Tails Can You Catch?
- Age U6 - U13
- Training Set Progression
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Four cones mark the playing area.
Equipment: 4 cones and bibs in two, or optionally three, colours.
Players: Two teams in yellow and red, optionally a third in blue. Every player tucks the bib of the team colour into the back of the shorts; this is the bunny tail. Each team provides one catcher.
Procedure
- The catchers try to grab all the bunny tails of the opposing team as quickly as possible.
- Once a team has no players left in the playing area, it has lost.
- Players who are caught automatically become catchers.
- The team that has won the most rounds wins overall.
Variations: Introduce a third team in blue. The coach calls out a colour; that team is then chased by all the other players.
Tip
- Always face the catcher.
- Escape the catcher with changes of direction and body feints.
