Term three options
Youthtown: Kī-o-rahi game
Kī-o-rahi is a ball sport played in New Zealand with a small round ball called a 'kī'. It is a fast-paced, team game based on the legend of Rahitutakahina and the rescue of his wife Tiarakurapakewai, incorporating skills similar to rugby union, netball, tag rugby and touch.
Gaelic football
Watch Gaelic football on YouTube
Gaelic football is played with a round ball and both hands and feet are used to control and pass the ball. There are 15 players on each team, with only one referee. The primary objective is to score by driving the ball through or over the goals. If the ball is sent over the bar of the goals, the team scores a point. If it goes under the bar, into the goalmouth, three points are scored. The team with the highest score at the end of the match wins.
Top team: Are you up for a challenge?!
Team up with your friends to compete in a series of interactive fun team building challenges. Your team will race against the clock to score as many points as possible in the timeframe given. Be prepared to run, jump, throw and show off all your teamwork skills and become the top team!
Kabaddi
Kabbadi is an Indian game. The objective is for a single player on offence, referred to as a "raider", to run into the opposing team's half of a court, touch out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders, and in a single breath.
Fencing
Maybe you saw fencing at the Olympics recently! It is a combat sport that features sword fighting. The three disciplines of fencing are the foil, the épée, and the sabre; each discipline uses a different kind of blade, which shares the same name, and employs its own rules. Most competitive fencers specialise in one discipline.
