Tag Rugby

Featured Sports

All year Round

Whilst a great game parents are often concerned about the possibility of their child sustaining injury when playing Rugby. However this milder version of the sport allows both girls and boys to feel the exhilaration of the sport without fear, as tackles are replaced by ‘touches’ or ‘tags’. Players only need to tag their opponents to indicate that they have been ‘tackled.

Tag Rugby introduces children to the benefits of the sport of Rugby and offers the following benefits:

A teamwork game that develops positive values.
Honesty is encouraged as players admit they have been tagged.
It develops a sense of achievement.
It encourages the development of bone and muscle strength
It improves spatial awareness and body coordination
There is an element of problem solving and tactics therefore it improves mental agility.
