  • Rules of Tag
    Rugby Football Union’s School Curriculum Schools Development Rules of Tag 1. OBJECT The object of the game is to score a try by placing the ball with a downward pressure on or behind the opponents’ goal-line. For the sake of safety, the ball carrier must remain on their feet at all times and they are not allowed to score a try by diving over the goal-line. If a player grounds the ball while on their knees, the try should be allowed but, afterwards, all players should be reminded that they should stay on their feet. A player may not be prevented from grounding the ball by any physical contact (including placing a hand between ball and ground). Where Tag Rugby is played indoors or in restricted areas, a try can be scored by the ball carrier crossing the vertical plane of the goal- line without grounding the ball. This allows players to have their head up and be aware of their surroundings at all times. When a try is scored, the game is restarted by a free pass from the centre of the pitch by the non-scoring team. 2. TEAMS Tag Rugby is played between teams of equal numbers of players, each team containing five to eight players (agreed beforehand). Each side can have an agreed number of substitutes. Substituted players can be re-used at any time. 3. TECHNICAL INFORMATION The maximum pitch size is 60m x 30m, plus 5m for each in-goal (scoring) area. The size of the ball should be size 4 for age groups up to and including Under 14s.

Corcoran OAM 2020 RUGBY LEAGUE PARTICIPATION - INTRODUCTION What I love most about Rugby League is that it is much more than a game. It is a place to express yourself, to have fun, stay healthy, make friends and be part of a community. Rugby League played a big part in my life from a young age, providing me with an opportunity to connect with my local community that no other sport could. That’s the beautiful power of this great game. Teammates can become lifetime friends. Your family, just fans in amongst the crowd and your local club another pleasant extension of your family. Central to my role as Chairman of the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) is ensuring as many people of all ages and abilities enjoy themselves playing rugby league.

These Laws have been produced so that there are some guidelines and principles in place for Tag Rugby. Unions having jurisdiction over their developmental processes, matches, competitions and festivals may need to vary these Laws as deemed appropriate. LAW 1: THE GROUND 1.1 Surface of the playing enclosure (a) The surface must be deemed safe to play on. (b) The surface may be grass, sand, clay, snow or artificial grass. Match organisers may decide to use other surfaces provided they are suitable for purpose. 1.2 Dimensions of the field of play Match organisers may decide the dimensions of the playing area according to competition, developmental and age grade requirements, but usually matches are played across one half of a Rugby pitch with the goal line and half way lines acting as touch lines.

  • Rugby for Disabled People in Scotland This Fact Sheet Provides an Overview of Rugby for Disabled People in Scotland
    Rugby for Disabled People in Scotland This fact sheet provides an overview of rugby for disabled people in Scotland. It also provides useful contact details to signpost you to your local club to develop your skills and start to play or coach disabled people in rugby. Wheelchair Rugby Background "...a full contact, fast and dynamic sport..." Wheelchair rugby is a team sport for both male and female athletes with a disability and is a Summer Paralympic sport. A unique sport created by disabled athletes, it combines elements of rugby, basketball and handball. Developed in Winnipeg, Canada in 1976, the sport's original name was murderball. The United States name "quad rugby" is based on the fact that all wheelchair rugby players need to have disabilities that include at least some loss of function in at least three limbs—most are medically classified as quadriplegic. The sport is governed by the International Wheelchair Rugby Federation (IWRF) which was established in 1993. Rules in a Nutshell Players compete in teams of four to carry the ball across the opposing team's goal line. Contact between wheelchairs is permitted, and is in fact an integral part of the sport as players use their chairs to block and hold opponents. Wheelchair rugby is mostly played by two teams of up to twelve players. Only four players from each team may be on the court at any time. It is a mixed gender sport, and both male and female athletes play on the same teams and in the same competitions. Why play? As well as the excitement and adrenaline of a fast paced, action filled, full contact sport, there are many other benefits of the sport.
