Understand the need to pass once tagged

U7 MINI-TAG | ATTACKING 5

ACTIVITY: TAG CORRIDORS

1. Put three attackers, one with a ball, at one end of the area. Put one defender inside the area at 5m and another at 10m.
2. When you say “go”, the ball carrier runs forward aiming to score at the far end. The defenders aim to tag the ball carrier.
3. When tagged, the ball carrier has to stop and pass to another attacker.
4. When the attackers reach the far end, they turn and repeat, with a different attacker starting with the ball.
