Ki o Rahi Movement Strategies

Read each game situation and choose safe, useful movements. Explain how your choices help your team. Follow your teacher’s Ki o Rahi rules, respect opponents and avoid contact.

Read the field

A team is attacking with the kī. Te Tupu is the central target. Attackers try to move into useful space and work together; defenders try to mark players, block passes and regain possession. In this activity, imagine you can pass to a teammate and move without the kī.

1.Two defenders move towards you while your teammate is unmarked to your left. What is the best first attacking choice?

Pass to the open teammate, then move to a new space.
Run straight into both defenders and hold the kī.
Stop moving and wait for the defenders to leave.

2.After passing, why should you move into a different space rather than stand still?

3.A defender is closing in, and a teammate is running into open space on the right. Name one movement or passing choice that could help the attack, and explain why it may work.

4.True or false: A fast pass is always useful, even if it is difficult for the teammate to catch.

TrueFalse

5.A defender marks you closely. You move as if you will run one way, then change direction into open space. What is this movement likely to do for your team?

6.Your teammate makes a run behind a defender. What should you check before passing? Give two things.

Defend and support

Good defence uses awareness, balance and teamwork. Defenders can stay between an opponent and a useful space, watch the kī, and communicate. Play within the agreed rules and do not grab, shove or make unsafe contact.

7.When marking an opponent, which position is usually most helpful for making a pass harder while staying safe?

Balanced stance, watching both the player and the kī, with space to move.
Turn your back to the kī and stand very close behind the player.
Reach across the player and hold their arm.

8.Name one safe defensive action that could make an opponent’s pass more difficult without making contact.

9.You and a teammate are defending near Te Tupu. What short call could help you coordinate, and what should you do after making the call?

10.The other team makes a slow, inaccurate pass. What should you do as a defender, and what should your team do if you gain possession?
