Brief:
The children will get some time to practice beforehand, but knowledge of the game would be help as they will be getting into competitive games.
Tag rugby is a 8 a side game based on the principals of Rugby League, with a minimum of two girls on the pitch at once.
The attacking team has six plays in which to score a try.
A player can run with the ball until a tag is taken.
The team in possession runs with the ball and must pass backwards.
Upon de-tagging an opponent the defender must shout tag and drop the tag on to the floor, once the attacker has passed the ball they must reattach their tag.
Once de-tagged, the ball carrier must stop and pass the ball, all attacking players must be behind the ball (three seconds). A marker may stand in front on the play the ball.
