Course Overview
Tag rugby provides a safe and simple introduction to the game of rugby union. The WRU has developed this course to offer coaches, working with young players in the non-contact game, the opportunity to grow their knowledge and skills and, in doing so, improve the experience afforded to young players entering the game. An early positive experience has been shown to lead to longer-term player participation.

Tag rugby introduces both the player and coach to the fundamentals of evasive running, handling and passing, as well as the basic rules and principles of the game of rugby union.

Tag is a fast paced, fun game suitable for boys and girls. The invasion nature of the game provides opportunities for players to develop a basic understanding of the principles underlying rugby and other team sports such as football, hockey or netball.
