Kiwi Sport Reflection

For Kiwi sport this week we played a simple game called Rush Tag which is similar to bull rush but instead you have to try and take the rippas from the opponents. It was a really competitive game because some people had really good stepping techniques such as Jona and Junior. After this we finished of with a game of Rippa Rugby. For this game we were splited into 3 teams since we had a big group. Our goal for attacking (running the ball) is to pass the ball to someone that can find a space to run and our goal for defending (tagging the opponents) was to spread out, make not gaps for the attacking team, and run towards the attacking team as a line. At the end we were really fatigued but had a really enjoyable time with Hamish (coach).

This week was our second session for Kiwi Sport with Hamish (Rippa Rugby Coach). We played a game of Rippa Rugby which was fun because we were allowed to pass forward but if one of your rippas was tagged off you were to pass the ball backwards. Luckily, I scored two tries just to make my team win. After the game we practiced our side step skills with Hamish since there is a lot of side steps that happen in tag or rugby. We were to step with our weak leg (my one was my left) so when it comes to a game we are use to stepping with both foots. We also practiced how to spin which was fun because some of us were really dizzy. At the end we were splited into group to play a little game of tag. First we were counted from 1-13. Then Hamish would pick a team to attack (run the ball) and the other team to defend (take of the rippa from the opposite team). Hamish was to call a number for example four. Then number four from the attack group would receive the ball from Hamish while the other number 4 from the other group was to try take the rippa from them. Thank you to Hamish for coaching us and Mr Johnson (principal) for supervising us.
