Rugby 8th grade Project
By lane Austin
In September I started fall rugby season I was out of shape and hadn’t practiced or
played rugby in months I worked on running more and getting
open/catching the ball
September
This month I worked my tackling because I was tackling high, and that’s not as effective as tackling low in rugby.
I also had a few games and worked on my scoring.
October
I had a couple more rugby games I worked more on tackling more and better I ran more to get my cardio in good shape
November
Rugby season ends. I had no practice in rugby during December
I focused on staying in the shape I was and also improving it
I ran more because I wasn’t getting the regular workout from rugby practice
December
I started high school season near the end of the month
High school season is 15s rugby instead of 7s
I worked on keeping up
January
I continued in High school 15s rugby I learn new techniques and positions for 15s
rugby. I also practice my tackling and running
February
I work on my speed and agility High school season ends in mid-March Keep running and working out
March
Spring/Fall rugby 7s season starts I am better than before I practice on conditioning and getting in
better shape for our first game in May (17th) rather than tackling
April
My Goal was to improve on rugby I wanted to be better at running I needed to be a better tackler Improve in gameplay I wanted to be in better shape
My Goal
Have I met my goal?
Yes, I have met my goal.
I am faster I can run for longer distances at a time
I am better at running
I tackle the better I tackle more
I am now a better tackler
I am better at strategy It’s easier to catch the ball I know where to go, how to get there, and
what I do once I get there.
I have improved on my gameplay
I am stronger I am faster and more agile I have better endurance
I am in better shape
Growth over the year in tackling
