Ripper rugby is a type of rugby sport, except it is a none contact sport so it is safer for boys and girls. To play this sport it includes belts, tags and instead of tackling each other you have to rip the tag of the opponents belt.
Room 7 had an opportunity to be taught this sport by a Varsity coach called Matt. Matt made us focus on our passing skills so we knew where to pass and how. To get us warmed up we played a few games of Ball Tag. There were three taggers who ran around trying to tag us and when they did tag us we had to do one star jump. For our first activity we lined up in four lines of five/six, then ran in a line slightly falling behind the player with the ball. Once the ball had gone to each of the players running, the next line continues with the same routine.
In this lesson I learnt the correct way to pass the ball which was to pass back instead of passing the ball forward. I also learnt how to make it tricky for my opponent to grab my tag which was a surprise because we weren't learning about it yet.
Playing this sport really made me exhausted and kinda irritated because of all the running and because my shoes got really wet.
