Part 1 - Warm Up: 'Rats and Rabbits' - Group split in two teams and players face each other in two lines 3m apart. - One line is called “Rats”, the other “Rabbits”. Teacher/student calls out either “Rats” or “Rabbits”.- The named team then turns and runs to the end line while the other team tries to tag them. - Players who catch someone on the opposite team before reaching the end safe zone get 1 point. Modification: - Repeat activity, however each player must now carry a softcrosse stick with a ball inside whilst running.
