Rippa Rugby

On Wednesday last week we did some rippa rugby training with our sports activator, Rory. First when we got out there we were cold so Rory got us to run to the far tree on the school field and we were really warn after that.  We played some games with him. We played a game where we had to run to a cone and then run to the rugby ball that Rory kicked in. There were two teams, red vs green. If we grabbed the ball before the other person did we had to try and score a try and they had to try and rip one of our tags off of us. After we played another game where we got into a square made out of cones and there would be two people who had to try and rip our tags off us. If your tag got ripped off, you had to go outside of the square until the next round. In the next round there were three people who were trying to rip our tags off us. There were different taggers each round.  It was a very enjoyable training session. Many of our senior students went on to use the skills they practised with Rory at the Rippa tournament in Balclutha on 28 May.
