About Tag Rugby

About Tag Rugby
TAG Rugby is an easy to learn non-contact sport.
- Players wear tag rugby shorts with two tags attached by Velcro.
- Mixed teams of seven people, 4 guys & 3 girls with subs. 12–15 on a team.
- Teams are created by the players themselves in advance of a league or people can sign up as an individual to be put on a team for a league.
- The team with the ball attacks and the other team defends.
Aim of the Game
- The aim for the attacking team is to score tries.
- Attacking players pass a rugby ball between teammates – running, dodging and moving the ball up the pitch towards the defending team’s try line.
- A TRY is scored by the attacking team touching the ball down on the ground over the defending team’s try line.
Aim of the game
- Defenders attempt to stop the attacking team’s progress, and prevent the person carrying the ball from scoring, by pulling off one of their Velcro-attached tags, which stops the tagged player.
- It’s easy to keep score. A guy try counts as one point – girls is worth 3 points. If a girl scores within the bonus box, 1 extra point is awarded.
If you’re an attacker
- Always run with the ball in two hands.
- When you pass the ball to a teammate, it must go backwards or sideways.
- If you’re tagged, the ref will shout ‘TAG!’.
- Stop and return to the spot you were tagged.
- Roll the ball back between your legs to your teammate standing behind you.
- They pick up the ball and play continues.
If you’re a defender
- The aim as a defender is to remove the ball carrier’s tag to stop their progress.
- If you remove their tag you should shout ‘TAG’, and immediately drop it on the ground, marking where they were tagged.
- Stay with the tag, moving a big step – one metre – back from it. You are the marker.
If you’re a defender
- The attacking tagged player returns to where you dropped the tag, rolls the ball back between their legs with their foot to their teammate who picks it up.
- The rest of the defending team must stand back seven metres from the tagged player.
- The defending team, and you the marker, can move forward only when the ball has been rolled back and played by the attacking team.
The six tag sequence
- The attacking team has six tags/attempts to get the ball through the defenders to score a try.
- After six tags the ball goes to the other team for a new six tag sequence.
- A new tag sequence also begins if the ball is passed/knocked forward. This is illegal and the ball goes to the other team.
- If the ball is passed forward or knocked on, the defending team turn into the attacking team and restart with a roll ball with six tags from where the pass or ball was knocked on.
What is non contact
- Both attackers and defenders have a responsibility to avoid each other at all times.
- Run at spaces not faces.
- Don’t deliberately bump into another player, or move into a player’s path at the last minute.
- Don’t block or push away a hand attempting to take off your tag.
- Don’t fend off a defender with any part of your body.
And finally….
- There are other rules and we’ll help you learn those as you play.
- As a new player, the best tactic is to hold on to the ball with two hands and run towards the try line!
  Being tagged isn’t bad, it’s all part of the game.
- Come along, have fun, meet new people and be part of TAG REPUBLIC.
