Classic Bulldog Warm Up

Setup

You will require: 1 ball each / 12 cones, Use a rectangular area large enough for your group, assign two bulldogs, the remaining players have a ball each and start at one end of the area

How it works

Players attempt to run from one end to the other, the bulldogs in the zone try and tag the runners, if they are successful those players become bulldogs as well, last player standing rules apply
