Rugby Fun

On Thursday last week our Kohara children who play either rugby or touch got a real treat meeting some Crusader players and then spending the afternoon out on the field learning and practising some skills with them.

They showed us how to spread our hands ready to catch the ball, and how to point both our arms at the player we are throwing the ball to as we release the ball - this helps us direct where we would like the ball to go. The children enjoyed some relay challenges and practised scoring tries using both hands to ground the ball.

At the end they were lucky enough to receive a goody bag from the Crusaders players too - what a great day!
