Kiwi Sport | Rippa Rugby

LI: to understand the movement and rules of rippa rugby.

Rippa Rugby is a sport where there are two teams and they have rippa's on their waist. One team starts by tapping the ball and passing. The person the ball is passed to has to run to the opposite side of the field and place the ball down on the goal without their tags being ripped but if they are ripped or their team members are ripped 5 times then it's a handover to the other team.

MJ and Glory helped to explain the real rules of rippa rugby so that we could play it. Boys and Girls from each class were separated into differnt parts of the field. The girls played a warm up game which was group passes, then started practising the different methods of dodging being ripped. Next we played a real game of rippa rugby. The red team scored 4 or 5 tries and the black team scored 2 or 3 tries.

Today, I enjoyed this week's session of rippa rugby. I think I could improve on trying to spin to prevent being ripped and using a 'W' form to catch the ball.
