Rippa rugby

Pass to the hip
Throw behind
Spin the ball sideways
One hand at the front, one hand at the back
Have your hands ready where you want to receive the ball
Swing your hands over your hips
When you have the ball, run forwards
Step into your pass.


When I was playing rippa rugby I was scared and nervous because I did not know what to do but actually once you know how to throw and catch a rugby ball it's not so bad. One main thing in rugby is that you have to thrown the ball backwards.Throwing a rugby ball is easy but hard at the same time because when you throw you have to try and aim for the persons hip not there chest like in netball. You have to pass from your hip across your tummy then when it gets to your other hip let go. When the ball is in the air it should spin smoothly sideways and not head over heels. If the ball spins head over heels then you did not hold it right. How you hold it is you have one hand near the front of the ball and one hand near the end of the ball. Since you have to throw the ball backwards when you get the ball you run forwards so that your team is behind you then you can pass. When someone throws you the ball have your hands down by your hips ready to catch the ball.
