Tag Rugby
Tag rugby is a great introduction to the sport and is similar to the traditional game, but each player wears shorts with velcro patches and two tags attached. Attacking players attempt to dodge, evade, and pass the ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by 'tagging' - pulling a velcro tag from the ball carrier. It is a fun, non-contact version of the sport suitable for all ages to play together.

An Overview of Tag Rugby
Tag rugby is an easy game to learn, and there are many players who have never played any form of rugby before. It can be played by players of varying levels of fitness. Although games are 40-minutes long, rolling substitutes are permitted, allowing you to come off the pitch for a breather as many times as you want. Regardless of your starting fitness, it is a great way to improve your fitness and stay healthy.
Seven players in each team are allowed on the field at a time. The attacking team has six plays or tags to try to score a try or take the ball downfield as close to the line as possible. Tries are worth one point and there are no conversions. In mixed Tag Rugby, female tries are worth two points.
