Students sweating, Teachers watching and Coaches instructing…….. WHEWW what a day!
The clock was ticking and we didn't have much time to get ready so we had to work as a class quickly. Last week, 12 November we were lucky to have Trevor come to our school and teach classes how to play touch rugby out on the field in front of the junior classes. We practiced after morning-tea, it was hot and windy at the same. We started of with some basic drills. Our maximum time was 45 minutes. We were fortunate to have an experienced coach to give us lecture on how to play touch rugby. He has short white hair and he is skilled in Touch Rugby.
To begin with we learnt how to plant the rugby ball in between our legs. We had to practice and practice. Trevor told us “It’s not a race,” because our group was competing with the other groups. We all participated and co-operated to complete our activities.
Our coach then gave us a few questions to see if we were listening to what he said. “What do you do when it’s a hand over?”
Some students answered,”Plant the ball between your legs, step over, step to the side and back.”
“Correct!” Trevor said
He taught us new tactics that we can teach our younger siblings.
I enjoyed being trained however I was also exhausted. I learnt a lot of new touch techniques.
