How to play the game

• The game is started by the ‘ref’ or teacher throwing the ball into the ‘te ara’ zone.

• The ball has to be touched by one of the players in the ‘Ara’ before it can be passed to one of

their team mates in the ‘Te Roto’ zone.

• Each team has to knock of the oppositions balls in the ‘Pawero’ zone whilst trying to defend

their own.

• When all 3 balls have been knocked off that team is the winner. (At this stage you can change around positions

of players).

• Once the players understand positions and rules of the game you can add in another ball to

keep the players more engaged

Longball

The aim of the game is to 'bat' the ball and run to the safe zone and back to the scoring zone to score a point.
