All of the teachers participated in this program understood that thisprogram could develop autonomy, cooperativeness and strong minds andbodies. They realized that it was easy to adopt Tag Rugby in a field ofeducation, so some schools actually played it in class.
However, we had some students who didn’t understand the objectives well,because we could not explain enough about then for some teams at thediscussions. Therefore, we realized that we should have created a manualand used it at the team discussions.
