Tapuwa


Hi, guys today I am going to tell you how to play tapu ae and my experiences play this sport.
What is Tapu Ae
Tapu ae is a traditional Māori ball game. It is an adaptation of ki-o-Rahi to a court game and was formalised about 1900. Today it is played on a hard surface such as a netball court. The court consists of two sides where players pass the ball aiming to knock the block in the middle of the two sides over.?


What are some of the basic rules?
  1.  The guardian protects the target and tries to stop the other team from knocking the tennis balls off the cones. 
  1. You can not run with the ball. You can only take two steps.
  1.  You can not go in the guardian's circle at all.
  1. The ball got to go to all three zones.

What are some of the Māori Kupu that we talked about?
kaitiaki/guardian
whāinga/target
whakarārangi/outline
Kawai/attackers
kaitiaki/defenders
marae/court

What was your role in your team for these games?

When I play tapu ae I am the guardian. That is when you are in the circle at the end of each court defending.

What did you enjoy the most about the game?
I liked when the other team when they take shots at me because when they do not take shots it is boring.

What were some of the drawbacks that you can think of?
when our team did not pass.

Very well written and understood. I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
