“Attackers aim to get to the other side without being two-hand touched. If touched, they join the defence. The defenders start facing away with two or more defenders”
SET UP
A 10m by 5m area.
HOW TO PLAY
Put one defender on one line and all the others on the other.
On your call, all the attackers start at the same time and aim to run to the other side.
If the defender two-hand touches an attacker, the attacker now becomes a defender.
If an attacker runs back over their line, or out of play, they become a defender.
In the next round, if there are two defenders (2), they start with their backs to the attackers.
In there are more than two defenders, they are on their fronts, facing away from the attacker.
The last attacker becomes the next defender to restart the whole game.
Keep a score of who survives the longest.
DEVELOPMENTS
Give the attackers a ball each.
Make the defender grab the attacker. If they can hold them for two seconds, then it counts as a tackle.
Make it full contact.
NUMBERS
Works best with four players, but five, even six okay. With six, make the box a bit wider.
“An attacker and defender run unusual running lines, which map out an R, to create a dynamic 1 v 1 which gives a chance for the attacker to attempt to step inside or outflank the defender” MORE
The wolf (the defender) aims to bring down the hero and steal the ball. The hero aims to save the ball and then, after a count of five, pass to a teammate. The wolf wins if they bring down the hero, steal the ball or force them out of the edges or starting end of the box. MORE
A Digital Video Games Approach (DVGA) borrows design features from video game design and uses these features to design practices for players on the field. However, to make the best use of the way digital video game designers get the ‘gamer’ to think, we need to understand the design process in depth. Amy Price of GreyMattersUk.com and Dan Cottrell explain how to do this. MORE
The thrower aims to put the catcher under pressure by throwing a ball so it arrives at the same time as their chaser. Score points for successful catches or winning the ball chase. MORE
“The supporting player starts in front of the ball carrier, while the defender has his back to the attack. When you shout play, with the supporting player walking forward and the defender out of position, the players will have to think quickly to come up with winning solutions.” MORE
