Teaching Points:
-
Leader wants to use movements that will elude follower (shadow).
-
Follower wants to keep a close distance to leader, this shows that this
student can mark efficiently.
-
Follower wants to watch the hips of the leader, because that is the first
body movement, which indicates the direction he/she is likely to go.
-
Leader must use fakes to elude follower.
-
To increase tactical complexity, the leader can change speed.
-
Keep head up and a close eye on the leader, as well as the other students
participating and objects (goal posts, etc.).

| In this diagram, the student following is the shadow. Students are
encouraged to use all the space in half of the field for safety and enjoyment
reasons. |

Organizational Points:
-
In partners, the teacher asks for them to number themselves #1 and #2.
-
#1 is the leader and #2 is the shadow (follower).
-
Begin game at walking pace, jogging and then running.
-
Teacher indicates which pace is set, by simply yelling out the command
(walk, etc.).
-
Teacher also indicates when to switch positions, by yelling switch or blowing
on his/her whistle.
-
Once the students have practiced this game, the teacher can allow the students
to monitor and change their speeds without the teacher's commands.
