Beginner’s guide to Maraboes RugbyThe GamePresentRugby is a game in which the object is to carry the ball over theopponents’ goal line and force it to the ground to score.It’s simple... but complexThe above description may sound simple - but there is one catch. Inorder to go forward, the ball must be passed backwards. The ball can bekicked forwards, but the kicker’s team mates must be behind the ball atthe moment the ball is kicked.Currently the Maraboes consistsof some 35 members. We havemembers from college anduniversity, from every possiblecontinent and people whobesides the maraboes are also amember of one of the manyother student associations orfraternities.This apparent contradiction creates a need for fine teamwork and greatdiscipline, as little can be achieved by any one individual player. Only byworking as a team can players move the ball forward towards theiropponents’ goal line and eventually go on to win the game.Rugby has its unique aspects,but like many other sports it isessentially about the creationand use of space. The winnersof a game of Rugby will be theteam of players who can getthemselves and the ball intospace and use that spacewisely, while denying theopposing team bothpossession of the ball andaccess to space in which touse it.We have two teams entered inthe dutch competition. Onecompetitive team and aso-called development team.This team is there specifically togive people, who arecompletely new to the game, achance to get experience in thecompetiton and playingdifferent positions.The field of playDEAD BALL LINEnot exceeding22mnot exceeding 70mIN-GOALGOAL LINE22m22-METRE LINE10-METRE LINEnot exceeding100m10mnot exceeding22mA typical maraboes should havethe discipline to train and playregularly.
