In Ki o rahi two teams are formed. 1 team is called Kioma the other team is Taniwha.

The Kioma has the goal of touching poles/pou with a ball/ki

Taniwha have the goal of hitting the tupu/bin in the middle of the play area.

The field is 3 circles they are named Te Roto, Te Ao and Pawero.

Te Roto is the circle that taniwha enter with the ball/ki to hit the bin/tupu

Te Ao is the circle surrounded by pou. Kioma hit these poles then score in Pawero.

Pawero is the centre circle. Kioma once hitting the pou place it down there.
