Wallabies and Wallaroos

Assemble two 'try lines' approximately 20 metres apart separated by a halfway line. Divide participants into two teams: 'Wallabies' and 'Wallaroos', with both teams standing on the halfway line facing an opposing partner. On the Coach’s signal, either "Wallabies" or "Wallaroos" is called, with the relevant participants attempting to turn and run towards their ‘try line’ before their partners can tag them.
