Ball handlers carrying the football from one end of the court to the other end of the court attempt to weave, fake, and cut through the defense. If a ball carrier reaches the other end of the court without being tagged, he scores a touchdown and returns out of bounds to the starting line to immediately begin again. If a ball carrier during his run steps out of bounds or gets tagged by a defender, the ball carrier must step out of bounds and return to the starting line to immediately begin his run again. Ball carriers can only run in one direction on the court. The defenders are assigned a designated line to run back and forth on to try and tag the ball carriers. An advantage to this activity is that you don>t have two teams rushing at each other. With defenders assigned to a line, it is a more controlled activity. Also, you don>t have to bother with flag football belts or vests. This is a quick and easy warm up activity to organize. The students love this activity and receive a good warm up. There is normall

Looks fun! I am wondering how you divide up the kids, like say in a class of 28 how many start as runners and how many defenders? It only looked like 10 or so runners, so then 15-20 defenders? Or half and half?
