Rippa/Rugby
Rippa rugby is non-contact hybrid of rugby which promotes ball-handling and running skills, there is also the opportunity to enter a tackle rugby team if there are sufficient numbers and coaches available. This sport is for boys and girls and the tournament days are held at Takapuna RFC. There are 3-4 tournaments for schools each year across Term 2 & 3. The local clubs that offer rippa and rugby over the winter are East Coast Bays, Glenfield and Takapuna.
