Kiwi Sport | Touch Rugby

This week, we practised and revised the skills we learned last week for touch rygby.

First, we practised tapping the ball. To tap the ball, we put the ball on the ground and tapped it with our foot. We then picked it back up and repeated until we did tapped the ball 6 times.

Next, we practised scoring a try. We did this by tapping the cones or the ground with the ball. We repeated this process. We made sure the ball actually touched the ground.

After that, we practised throwing and catching the ball. If we found this easy, we were able to throw the ball, clap and then catch the ball. Then we practised tapping, scoring and throwing and catching all at once.

Then, we got into groups and spread out along a line. We did this to practise sideways and backwards passing. We did right passes for one minute, and then switched to left passes for one minute. We only dropped the ball 4 times in total.

Finally, we split into two groups: the defending team and the scoring team. For the scoring team, two people went up at a time. One person on the scoring team started with the ball and then passed it to the other person so they could score a try. Only one person on the defending team went up and had to try touch the person with the ball. We did this to practice collaborating to score tries.

I enjoyed this weeks session of Kiwi Sport. I especially enjoyed scoring tries and practising passing. One thing I could work on is focusing on my enviroment and not just the person with the ball.
