the runner and continue chasing (don’t change spots with the
runner)

 Tricky touch downs
Description - Organise players into groups of 6
- Set them on a diagonal points of the playing area
- A defender can only enter the playing area once the attacker
has entered the area
- Points are awarded when the attacker runs over the line
without being touched
- An attacker and defender should move out of the playing area
quickly once defender tags attacker or when attacker passes
designated line, this allows for the next group to go
- Once an attacker has attacked, they join the defending line and
so on
Variations Attacker grounds the ball over the touch line after each pay even when
scored.
- And acting half standing near the attackers can pass the ball to
the attacker who then enters the playing area on the run
- Change the size of the playing area
