TAG Rugby

Parents and Teachers come and have a go

Tag rugby is a fast-moving, non-contact game suitable for boys and girls to play together.
Its safe, non-contact nature, combined with the fun and vibrance of the sport, has meant that mini tag is now the R.F.U.’s official version of rugby for under-7s and under-8s.

Are we having fun or what?

The interchangeable nature of possession, leading to rapid switching from attack to defence, means that a range of skills is cultivated and developed.
Co-operation, integration and determination, along with individual and collective responsibility, are all key elements in the game of mini tag.

A tag belt is a belt worn around the waist to which two “ribbons” (tags) are attached by Velcro.
One tag hangs down each side. The belt is worn on the outside of the clothing. The snatching of a Tag shows a tackle has been made and the ball should be passed.

After running our initial TAG cource in 2006 which was attended by 35 local parents and teachers, club president Jim Williams had the follwing to say - "Kings Norton RFC will follow up the course by supporting the local schools with equipment and Kings Norton Volunteer coaches will visit the schools to help with training sessions.

The children will then be invited to attend training sessions at Kings Norton's Club in ash Lane Hopwood on Saturday Mornings at 10 am".

Regular training sessions are held every Saturday morning during the rugby season and are increasing in popularity. Anyone interested in playing or coaching in these sessions is more than welcome to come along. Due to official rules, sessions may occasionally be cancelled because of weather constraints etc. Please call the club on 0121 445 3340 before you set off if you plan to travel any distance.


For all you old farts out there, we now run a Tuesday evening session for the older player, so if you fancy a go at rugby but dont want all the injuries, or you are a retired player of senior years just wanting to get back in, come along and try it out. All you need is a pair of trainers and a t-shirt (shorts or trackies obviously cos we are a family club!!)
