The maximum team size is 12 with 7 on the pitch at one time. 

This is a mixed team game so only a maximum of 4 males can be on the pitch at one time. 

Basic rugby rules apply:

1. You can only pass the ball backward 
2. When you are tagged you must stop running, replace your tag, and roll the ball through your legs to allow play to continue 
3. When you have made a tag, your whole team must retreat 7m and wait for play to continue before making another tag. 
4. No kicking of the ball is allowed 
5. No tackling is allowed 

If you score a try, that counts as 1 point. There are no conversions or penalty kicks in Tag Rugby. 

If you are new to rugby in general, don’t worry! There will be a designated referee at every game who can help you with the rules. 

The games last 50 mins. 2 x 25 mins with a small break at half time. 

Rolling substitutions are allowed so you will be able to take it at your own pace. 

Games are played on the grass pitches at Harrogate Rugby Club 

Address: Harrogate Rugby Club, Rudding Lane, HG3 1DQ 

All balls and tags will be provided for you, so all you will need is appropriate footwear. 

We would suggest playing in rugby/football boots (trainers may be used but pitch conditions could make it a bit slippy!) 

Teams do not have to have matching shirts, our referees will be able to tell what team you are on by the color of your tags. 

The clubhouse bar will be open during and after the matches if you would like to purchase refreshments. 

NO! Anyone can sign up a team, or sign up as an individual and we will help you find one. There is no requirement to be a member of Harrogate Rugby Club to play in this league.
