Taggers have a bib in hand, the tagger changes when someone is caught.
Rules:
- The tagger cannot catch a player who is running through a safe zone
- Players cannot remain standing in a safe zone
- No more than one player can enter the same safe zone
Variation: The safe zone where the coach stands cannot be used
Competition: A player gets a point every time they pass through a free point area while escaping. Who will be the first to get 10 points?
Variation: Ball Stealing. When stealing, the ball must be gained under control. If the tagger only kicks the escaping player's ball out of the area, the tagger remains the tagger and the escapee retrieves the ball back to the area and continues dribbling. Otherwise, it follows the same principle as in tag.
