Kiwi Sport | Touch

This week, our Kiwi Sport is touch rugby. We practiced the basic skills needed to play touch.

First, we practiced getting familiar with the ball by throwing and catching it in the air. We also practiced moving while throwing and catching the ball.

Next, we chose a partner and passed the ball to each other. We used the 'W' to catch the ball. We couldn't forward pass the ball, so the partner who was catching the ball had to be slightly behind the person with the ball.

Then, we played an activity to practice our skills. There were coloured hoops on the ground, and when the teacher called out a colour, we needed to put the ball into a hoop of that colour. The person with the ball had to put the ball down for their partner to pick up, and their partner could only pass the ball (they were not allowed to move with it).

I enjoyed this session of touch rugby and learning the basic skills. I especially enjoyed passing the ball and placing it in the hoops. One thing I think I could work on is collaborating to score points.
