Tag Rugby on the Isle of Man
Tag rugby is available for girls and boys of all abilities in Years 2 and 3 to participate in the Sporting Club Manx Youth Games.
Players learn about key fundamentals, spatial awareness, organisation, support and teamwork. Tag rugby is a fun pathway which can progress to the contact game, and we have strong links with clubs who provide fixtures on a regular basis for the players to test themselves. All our coaches are RFU qualified, and have the support from volunteers who are keen to help – many have started by doing the Manx Youth Games themselves many years ago!
Rugby’s Core Values:
Teamwork • Respect • Enjoyment • Discipline • Sportsmanship
Coaches will notify players of any exclusion dates for the training sessions.
Footwear - Non marking clean trainers.
