Rookie Rugby

'Rookie Rugby' is simple to understand, organize, teach and especially play.

Rookie Rugby / Touch Rugby is designed as an introduction, to be played by boys and girls, ages 5-14 and adults that are new to the game. Rookie Rugby/Touch Rugby is a seven-a-side game in which the tackle is replaced by a tag.

The ball-carrier is tagged by an opponent, with two hands between waist and knee. After a tag the ball carrier must pass the ball to a team-mate immediately or release it.

There is complete emphasis on players running with the ball, evading opponents, supporting the ball-carrier, passing, scoring and, perhaps most importantly, having fun This new game is the first level of the 'Rugby For All' continuum which serves to clearly map out the development pathway for players.
