1101PEA - Turbo Touch

• Explain the physical activity you participated in.

The physical activity I participated in today was Turbo touch there are many different ways and rules of playing this game but these are the rules and how we decided to play the game. How to play the game you use a rugby ball and you are able to pass any where you want as long as the ball does not touch the ground. There are two try zones on either sides of the court or field you play on each try zone is a rectangular shaped space horizontally placed along the court/field. That is how you play the but here are the rules. You must make sure you pass at least twice before scoring and to score you must run the ball up to the line and place it in the try zone with out entering it or you can pass it in to a team mate standing by the try zone. You must tap the ball before starting You can only be touched twice then you must hand the ball over and if you drop the ball it is a hand over and you must be two metres away from the person tapping the ball if on the defending team.

- Environment ( - ) - Environment negatively influenced not only my participation but other year levels participation because half of our school REC was closed for safety reasons and it was muddy and wet outside so it stopped the year twelves from doing practical and also made us have to do practical with the year nines which was a new experience for every one.

- Skill level (+) - Skill level positively influenced my participation because most the boys including me are pretty good at turbo touch which increased the amount of game time I had.

- Past experience ( + ) - Past experience positively influenced my participation because we had played turbo touch many times before and tended to get pretty good at it which also increased my game time and how much I played.

How could you increase your (or your peers) participation in this activity in the future?

I could increase my and my peers participation in the future by encouraging the year nines or even other peers in my class to participate and sub on every now and then and offering the year nines to sub on for me like I had done today.
