Game version
Target-kick game: two teams of two take turns kicking to target zones. Each team counts only its own hits.
Kick Chase as a Line
Kick long and chase together as a flat line so the catcher has no space.

Coaching point
Chase as one line.
Safety: Tag only: touch with two hands or pull a tag belt. No grabbing, pushing or tackling.
