Touch Rugby | Kiwi sport

This week our kiwi sport was touch rugby. We were building up our confidence to pass and catch a rugby ball.

First we practiced getting confident with the ball by throwing and catching it in the air and not dropping it. We also practiced moving backwards and forwards while throwing and catching the ball.

Next, we chose a partner and passed the ball to each other. We used the letter "W" to catch the ball. We couldn't pass the ball foward, 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 but they were not allowed to move with it.

I enjoyed this session of touch rugby and learning the basic skills.
