The first part of our Skating skills series takes us back to our childhood - playing tag.  

Tag is simiplistic in its nature, but it allows us to work on our edges, our manueverability, and our agility.

Take 2 sticks end to end, and have each skater line up opposite sides.

On the whistle, each skater tries to move and tag the other one by moving AROUND the sticks, not over.

Can be made more difficult by making it 10 and 2 with their feet, forcing them to move in mohawks and side steps.
