Dodge : Tail Tag

10
mins

Objective
Great for practising transitions, speed, concentration.
Activity

Equipment needed: Enough 'tails' for either 1 per skater or enough for about half to have one

'Tails' can be bibs, vests, strips of cloth, anything that can be tucked into a waistband and have some protruding out.

Variation 1: Tail Collector Everyone starts with a tail. Tails must be secured by tucking the top into your waistband so the rest trails out like a tail (so should be on the back/side, not front.

Decide the direction of play, everyone skates around and has X minutes to collect as many tails as they can. As soon as you collect a tail you should tuck it into your waistband; you are not allowed to collect more tails when you have one in your hand.

Skater with the most tails (tucked in) at the end of the time is the winner.

Variation 2:Hold on to your Tail Similar to above except only about half the skaters start with a tail. The aim is to finish the round with a tail so you only need one; once you have yours you must try to keep it by avoiding other skaters, transitioning away from them etc.
