Exercise #101: Pairs Tag

OBJECTIVE:	Pairs Tag is a fun exercise for your players to play as a warm-up or fitness exercise.
DESCRIPTION:	Groups of partners play "tag" in the penalty area. One partner starts as "it" and must chase his partner in the penalty area until he can tap him on the shoulder to trade roles. Neither partner wants to be "it" when time is called (after 1 or 2 minutes), because whoever is "it" must do five hops. The players being chased can "hide" behind players in other pairs. Play three games of 1 to 2 minutes each.
