Partner Tag
Description
Group participants in pairs within a grid, with one participant designated as the 'Ball Carrier', and the other as the 'Tagger'. On the Coach's signal, the ball carrier must avoid being tagged by moving through the grid. Once tagged, participants swap roles and resume playing.
Equipment
- 8 x cones
- 1 x ball per pair
Coaching Outcome
Participants develop spatial awareness, agility, and learn to move confidently in this fun and competitive evasion game.
Change It
- Upon being tagged, require the ball carrier to drop to the ground and release the ball. Participants swap roles once the tagger picks up the ball.
- Introduce different movement patterns e.g. skipping or hopping.
- Alter the size of the grid.
Check for Understanding
- What part of the body should we look at when tagging our opponent?
- What can we do to ensure that we do not run into other participants?
