TEAM BALL TAG
Activity
Level: high
QEP: Competency II
Equipment: pinnies, foam balls
Formation: scatter
Tactics: sending and receiving, using space, communicating
Description: The goal of the game is to tag the players of the other team by passing the ball between team members. The game starts with 3 players who are wearing pinnies and they are the taggers. They must pass the ball amongst each other and try touch the students without pinnies in order to transfer them to their team. The importance in defense is to move around the space while avoiding others and the taggers. In offense, the taggers must be able to pass and receive the ball effectively, while positioning themselves close enough to players to tag them when receiving a pass. When someone is tagged, they put on a pinnie and join the tagger team. The game ends when there are only 3 surviving players, who in turn become the new taggers in the next game.
