Try Tag Rugby National Licensing Director, Carl Duckels said: “We can’t wait to see Try Tag Rugby starting in two fantastic new locations this April. Both locations have a reputation for being vibrant, fun and friendly places to live. This makes them a perfect fit for Try Tag Rugby. Last summer we had over 10,000 people taking to the pitch weekly across the UK and we are confident that York and Newcastle will be able to build on that success. As well as being a convenient way to stay fit and healthy on a regular basis, it’s also a great way to have fun and meet people. All skill and experience levels are welcome, with nearly 50% of our players having never touched a rugby ball before.“
League Registration is now open for individuals, groups, and teams. For more information and to register, please visit the links below. If signing up as an individual or group, Try Tag Rugby will put other individual players together to create a full team.
