Rippa Rugby

Kiwi sport- Rippa Rugby

This term for Kiwi sport we have been learning how to play Rippa Rugby. This is a great introduction for beginners to learn ball control, skills and how to hold the ball.

 Each child has a black band to wrap around their body, with 2 coloured tags (rippa's), which sit on their hips. They have been learning how to run with the ball on attack, focus on holding the ball and running towards their try line. The other team are defending and try to get the tags off the children's bands, they have to hold the tag up to show they have made a 'rip' and then give back to player. 

Defending team stay in lines and walk side to side(Crabs)
