Rugby league session

On Wednesday before morning tea room 22 had to go down to the courts in 2 lines because a man called Sio Siua Taukeiaho that plays for the vodafone junior warriors squad was going to teach us some rugby league skills.

The first drill that we had to do was called zigzag around the cones. When you get to the last cone then sprint back and pop the ball to your other runner and they have to zigzag around the cones. The first team to sit back down in a line when everyone has a turn wins a point for there team.

Our 2ND drill was the same as the 1st drill but now its people not cones in a line. You have to zigzag around them then when you get to the end you have to sprint back and place the ball between two cones. My team was the first team to get a point but we just lost to the other team by one.

Finally on our last session of the day the game was similar to focus back but when you kick the ball it has to be above your shoulders if it doesn't then the person that kick the ball is out. the other thing is when you kick the ball and the other one is trying to catch it if they drop it they are out to. I'm always the last person to get out because I know were to kick. My team won most the time but we lost.

I really enjoyed it I hope the come some other time to teach us some more skills.
