SRFC U8s
U8s - Mini Tag Rugby.
U8s squad players must be 7 years old at the beginning of the season (1st September) - same as School Year 3.
Players (both boys & girls) of any ability who want to participate in some form of competitive game are welcome to come along and join in.
Play is regulated by RFU as part of the rugby continuum, designed to promote "fair play within the game".
Continuum Stage 1: U7 & U8 (Mini Tag Rugby)
The game is played on a relatively small pitch with cloth strips (tags) that are attached to a belt with velcro. Tackling is replaced by tagging. Tagging is the removal of one of a players tags. The game is simplified to consist only of running and passing.
Whether training or playing matches the safety and welfare of players along with their development and enjoyment in taking part is the paramount objective, winning is a bonus.
