TRY TAG RUGBY

Coventry Bears are proud to offer the increasingly popular, fast growing social sport of Try Tag Rugby for males and females ages 16+. Locally there are competitive weekly leagues that operate in Coventry, Leamington Spa and Stratford Upon Avon all year round. Tag Rugby is a minimal contact team game in which each player wears shorts with velcro patches with two tags attached to them. The mode of play is similar to Rugby League, Touch Rugby or Rugby 7s with attacking players attempting to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders attempt to prevent them scoring by “tagging” – pulling a velcro attached tag from the ball carrier. The attacking team has six plays or tags to try to score a try or take the ball down field as close to the line as possible. Tries are worth one point and there are no conversions. In Mixed Tag Rugby, female tries are worth two points. The team scoring the most points will win the game which takes place weekly as part of a league structure.  

In Coventry and Warwickshire there are currently over 350 players who play in the leagues weekly. You can sign up as an individual or a team and no experience is necessary. For more information click below or email coventry@trytagrugby.com
