Description
Tag rugby is a non-contact sport that is a safe and fun way to introduce rugby to under-11s. It improves fitness, develops running and handling skills and hand-eye coordination and fosters team spirit. It can be played by mixed teams and is ideal for children aged 5 upwards. This book is a clear and comprehensive guide to playing tag rugby for coaches, teachers and parents that aims to make the game fun and accessible to all, whatever the children's ability or the coach's level of experience. It introduces the game, explains the rules and outlines the principles of training (with reference to the National Curriculum where necessary). It then provides a range of drills and game ideas that can be made easier or more difficult depending on the level of the group being taught and the coach's competence.
