Rippa Rugby with MJ & Gory

LI: To learn the basics of rippa rugby.

This week for kiwi sport LS1 was learning the basics of rippa rugby. Our two coaches were MJ and Gory.

Rippa rugby is a sport were we put two tags on our waists and the other team has to try and rip the rippas from the opponents. If you manage to do that then the person who got tagged has to pass the rugby ball to another person from their team. If your team gets tagged 5 times, it is a hand over and you have to give the ball to the other team. Its also a hand over if your off-side, out and knock-on.

We were practising throwing and catching. We lined up behind four cones and the first group had the ball. The person in the front of the groups had to run and pass the ball backwards to the first person in the group on the right. We had to catch by joining our hands to look like a 'W'.

I enjoyed this session of rippa rugby. I think I could improve on catching the ball.
