CYCLE: III

QEP: Competency II: using available space, opposition
OBJECTIVE
To get your entire team behind the opposing team’s baseline.
EQUIPMENT
open space, pinnies, cones (to establish centre and baselines)
DIRECTIONS
- Divide class into 2 different coloured teams, and have them line up behind the baselines
- The first team to get all of its players across the opposite baseline wins.
- Once a player cross the center line they can be tagged by the opposing team, and they are frozen. They must do a balance (stand on one leg with knee up and hands out to the side), and can only be freed if a teammate takes them by the wrist and brings them back to their home side.
- Players cannot be tagged while bringing someone back after freeing them.
- A player who has already made it to the safe zone can free a teammate, but must bring them back to the home side and continue from there
MODIFICATIONS
- If it’s taking too long set a time limit and the team with the most players in the safe zone at that time wins
- Instead of players being frozen in place when tagged, have them go to a “jail” on that side of the play area where they must also be freed by a teammate
SAFETY CUES
- Keep head up
- Tag appropriately
- Ensure there’s enough room between the baselines and the wall
