Ripper Rugby

Ripper Rugby session

On Thursday, March 5th we had our first session with Hannah from Sport Northland. 

We warmed up with an All Blacks / Warriors game. Next Hannah went over  a few basic ball skills and the basic rules of Ripper Rugby.

          

                                                                                                     

    

Towards the end of the session, the two boys teams played each other and the two girls teams played each other in a 10 min game of ripper. 

Thank you Hannah Te Kauru really enjoyed their afternoon with you learning ball skills, the rules of ripper and then being able to practise what they learned.
