We’ve all been enjoying the warm weather over the last few weeks and if you’re looking for a fun way to keep fit during the summer then Try Tag Rugby could be for you!
Try Tag Rugby is an official partner of the Rugby Football League and is running over 40 Free Taster Sessions across the UK in June for anyone interested in this enjoyable, minimal contact version of the game.
The fun and friendly sessions are a perfect chance for anyone who has never played Tag Rugby League before to have a go and see what it’s like. Players of all genders and sporting abilities are welcome, no experience is needed and there is no obligation to sign up for a league or tournament if you decide it’s not for you.
Whilst Tag Rugby League is a great way to improve your fitness and mental wellbeing, there is no need to be super fit to start playing and Try Tag Rugby’s Taster Sessions are a gentle introduction to the game, suitable for all levels of fitness.
Taster Sessions will be running in Bradford, Brighton & Hove, Bristol, Coventry, Edinburgh, Leamington Spa, Leeds, Leigh, London, Maidenhead, Manchester, Oxford, Reading, Rugby, Salford, Sheffield, Wakefield, Warwick and Wigan.
Tag Rugby League is:
- For adults and teenagers aged 14+, with varying fitness levels and sporting ability;
- A 7-a-side game for all genders with unlimited substitutions;
- A minimal contact form of Rugby League where tackles are made by removing a tag from the player in possession of the ball;
- A game where tries are scored in the traditional way, but no conversions take place;
- A game of two x 20-minute halves on a pitch approximately 70m X 45m;
- Delivered in partnership with Try Tag Rugby (TTR) who run weekly mixed, men’s and women’s leagues all year round for adults and teens across the country as well as a number of one day events throughout the year;
Try Tag Rugby National Licence Director, Carl Duckels says: “There is no better way to spend a summers evening than being outside, having fun and staying healthy with friends, playing a version of the game you love! Even better when it’s topped off by some laughs and a catch up with other players at the weekly after match social!
“Individuals and teams can sign straight up to our Summer Leagues which start during June, but if you want to give it a try first then Free Taster Sessions are the perfect opportunity! We go through how to play in a fun and friendly environment before giving you a chance to have a go for yourself. It’s free and all are welcome!”
