Exercise #208: Logs

OBJECTIVE:	"Logs" is a fun warm-up exercise for your players to play.
DESCRIPTION:	Have your players lie on their stomachs on the ground in groups of three (side by side). Have one player running and another chasing him. The player being chased must get to a pile of three and lie down before the "tagger" reaches him. Immediately after he lies down, the person on the opposite end of that pile must quickly get up and run to a different pile before the tagger reaches him. The play continues until the tagger touches the runner, in which case the runner becomes the new tagger and can quickly tag him back if possible, or must chase him around until he can get the runner.
VARIANT:	Play again, but have each player hold on to a ball. The tagger can now tag the runner by throwing his ball and hitting him anywhere below the shoulders, and runners cannot join a pile unless they have the ball in their hands.
