Our aims for the under 7s:

First and foremost, our aims for the year are for all the children to have fun, meet new friends and learn all about the great game of rugby. We ask parents to come and watch the training and go to the games because the boys and girls love when their parents and family are on the side line cheering them on. After the games, we encourage the children and parents to stay on for something to eat and drink, which we hope will help develop friendships already started on the rugby field.

Rules for under 7s tag rugby:

Games are usually 7 per side, and last for 7 minutes with the emphasis on this being tag rugby and non-contact.  Tackles are made by pulling the tag from the belt of the ball carrier.  Once tackled, the player must immediately stop and pass the ball to a team member standing behind him. There are no scrummages or line outs at this age group, with the penalty for any offence being a free pass to the non-offending side. Note U7's play unlimited Tags. Our aim to develop our players’ basic skills, to introduce the conception of passing backwards, offside, and, of course scoring tries!
