Setup

Everyone dribbles in a box; everyone is a tagger.

Steps

  1. 1Tag another player (light touch) while dribbling.
  2. 2Each time you're tagged, hold that spot with one hand (an 'injury').
  3. 3Three injuries and you do a fun forfeit, then rejoin fresh.
  4. 4Keep dribbling the whole time.

Coaching points

  • Protect the ball while tagging.
  • Keep your head up.
  • Keep moving even while 'injured'.
