COME TO KADIKOY
MY DREAM JOB :
My dream job is RUGBY PLAYER. I want to be a RUGBY PLAYER since I started high school. It was thanks to my friends that I met RUGBY. The first time I started playing as a hobby I’m a player of KADIKÖY RUGBY now. I’ve had many championships with my team. We have made much financial and moral help to our team. I’m proud to be a KADIKOY PLAYER. So soon they became my FAMILY. I love KADIKÖY RUGBY. I love being a RUGBY PLAYER.
RUGBY Let me explain briefly :
Basics of Rugby League
The game starts with a kick-off as one team kicks the ball into the opposition half and then attempts to gain possession. The team in possession then attempt to move the ball up the pitch by passing it to hand or kicking it.
There are rules concerning how the ball must be passed and for how long teams are able to keep possession before it passes to their opponents. The most basic rules are:
- The ball when passed by hand has to be passed backwards.
- Player can pass the ball as many times as they like until one of them is tackled (brought down legally and held) in possession.
- Teams have possession of the ball for six tackles or plays. On the sixth play, teams usually elect to kick the ball long down the field to gain territory. If they do not kick, after the sixth tackle the ball is ‘handed over’ to the other team.
- When tackled, the ball carrier plays the ball backwards by foot along the ground to a teammate behind them.
- When a player has been tackled, his opponent must release him to enable him to play the ball.
- A scrum, consisting of six players per team is used to re-start the game after the ball has been ‘knocked-on’ or fumbled forward or when a forward pass has occurred. A scrum is also formed when a player is tackled into touch or when the ball is kicked into touch. Scrums are not contested like they are in Rugby Union.
- Players can be ruled offside if they are in front of a teammate who is in possession and they are deemed to be interfering with play. Players are not allowed to touch the ball if they were further up the field than a teammate who has kicked the ball upfield i.e. only players who are behind the player kicking the ball are allowed to touch it.
- Penalties can be awarded in other circumstances such as high tackles, hitting an opponent, tripping, kicking the ball when a player is attempting to pick it up, using foul or abusive language. Offenders can be given a yellow or red card, a yellow resulting in a 10 minute spell in the sin-bin to cool off.
Of course, there are a number of laws and rules in the Rugby League that we don’t attempt to surprise you from the beginning, but as you watch or play the game, these other rules will become clearer. Good luck.
