It’s a great way to stay active and healthy while enjoying the benefits of being part of a rugby team. The game is open to men, women, and children of all abilities from the age of 6 upwards, with no upper age limit.

Who Can Play?

Inclusive Tag Rugby is designed to be fully inclusive, welcoming players with a wide range of disabilities, including physical, sensory, and learning needs.
