They, and anyone they catch, must stay on their knees. The object is to catch all the standing wrestlers in the circle. Anyone caught or who steps on the line or outside the circle, especially when being attacked, must join those trying to catch the others. The game takes about 5 minutes. We use this at the end of a practice when we're running out of time and something quick and fun is needed as a warmdown.
Concerns Stay on top of the action at all times.
Don't let kids get too wild about running through the pack, especially smaller ones. This game is common among wrestling teams of all ages. Line your team up against the wall by weight. Starting at the lightest end, have two wrestlers at a time come out and wrestle until one gets a takedown. The winner stays out and faces the next man higher in weight.
