Skill: REACTION
Drill: Danger Tag
Equipment needed: Three large obstacles per group
Instructors needed: One per group
Description: The students will try to tackle their opponent in 30 seconds while avoiding obstacles.
Teaching SKILLZ: Choices
allow students to choose whether they want to start as the aggressor or the victim, giving them ownership and helping them engage more fully in the challenge.
Brain SKILLZ: Cognitive Flexibility
students must adapt quickly as they navigate the obstacles, shifting their movement strategies in real time to either chase or escape without stepping out of bounds.
Step 1
Pair your students up with a partner and divide the pairs into groups.
Step 2
For each group you will need to set up a ring approximately the same size as a sparring ring, and place three wave bags or large obstacles in the ring as shown in the picture.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules
  • One person will be the aggressor and the other will be the victim.
  • When I say “go” the aggressor will chase the victim around the ring and try to tackle them within 30 seconds.
  • The aggressor needs to pin the victim on the ground within 30 seconds to win.
  • If the victim or aggressor steps out of the ring at any time then they automatically lose, so they need to be aware of their surroundings and react quickly.
  • The loser does 20 push-ups.
Step 3
  • Switch Roles
