HOW TO PLAY – MORE DETAIL
• Tagging: This is how a defensive team can stop an
offensive team player. The ball carrier must stop when
an opposition player ‘tags’ (touches) them with either
one hand or two hands above the waist and below the
shoulders. You can decide if your game has one-handed
or two-handed tagging.
• Fumble/Drop: If an offensive player fails to catch the
ball properly (ie. fumbles and drops), or drops the
ball while running, then their team restarts from the
previous line of scrimmage.
• FALL: If an offense player running with the ball trips
over but keeps hold of the ball, play restarts from that
spot. If the player drops the ball when they fall over,
play restarts from the previous line of scrimmage.
