Continuum Mini
Tag Rugby.
Play games with small numbers, no more than seven. Squad sizes
are set by festival organisers, but not less that 10 players
Passes may be sideways or backwards through the air.
Free pass restart no more than 2metres, opponents 7 metres away
on line parallel to goal line.
No scrum.
No line out. A ball going in to touch will result in the opposing
side restarting the game with a free pass from the point on the
touchline where the ball went out of play. If within 7 metres of
try line, play restarts 7 metres from tryline.
No kicking.
A tackle - a 'Tag' - is made by removal of one of the two tags
from the ball carriers belt.
The tagged player must pass the ball to a team mate within 3 seconds.
The tagged player must stop running as soon as possible (within
3 strides is a reasonable guide).
The tagger must stop running and wait for the tagged player to
reclaim their tag before re-joining the game.
No diving to score or falling on the ground.
A team has a maximum of 6 'tags' to score. On the 7th 'tag' possession
is lost to the defending side. No hand offs, fend offs or barging.
In preparation for U9 Rugby, uncontested scrum, lineout and
tackles can be coached after the first of February.

No matter what your ability or gender there will always be a game
for everyone with the emphasis on the enjoyment of a wonderful game
in a safe and controlled environment. When a game is in progress
the children not playing will carry on with a training session until
it is their turn to play. There is no favouritism or positions to
worry about and all children whatever their ability will play their
part in the game. We would request at this time however, that you
remain on the touchline, or another person to do so as responsible
for your child. During the season the Coaching staff will be working
towards the Key learning objectives they have set themselves for
the children
This
squad is coached by Matt Skuse who is an RFU level 1 qualified coach
whod know hows how to get the best out of the children. Mat of course
is a parent volunteer, CRB checked and RFU certified for child protection,
whilst being assisted by a great team. Their input and enthusiasm
makes this a great bunch to be involved with, if you'd like to come
on down please do so. Pull up and introduce yourself and you'll
be made very welcome and will be pleasantly suprised as how these
'professionals' get your son or daughter passing and sidestepping.
Nothing to lose here except you dignity when jumping up and down
with the fun and excitement of a matchday. South Gloucestershire's
best kept secret is this happy bunch.....
