The game of KHO KHO is one of the oldest traditional tag games of India. It is a team game. A team consists of 12 Players, one coach, one manager and other supporting staff. 9 players will take the field in the beginning to start the match and 3 defenders of opposite team try to avoid being touched by the chasers. It is a high energy game that involves running and chasing. The motive of the sitting team is to "tag" the opponents. The chasers can run only in one direction and cannot cross the central lane.  They have to run around the post to reach other side. The other option is to pass the chasing job to another chaser whose back is facing you as you are running. The attacker touches the chaser he wants (usually nearest to the target) and utters the word “Kho" loudly to signify the change.
