Leeds Rhinos Foundation in partnership with Try Tag Rugby are offering a new weekly Tag Rugby League competition at John Smeaton Academy starting on the 30th August with the first of two free taster sessions.
Ran by Try Tag Rugby Yorkshire, the taster sessions will be a pre-cursor to the new Autumn league starting at John Smeaton Leisure Centre from Tuesday 13th September, which will run for 8 weeks.
The taster sessions are a perfect chance for adult players (male & female aged 14+), who have never played Tag Rugby before, to have a go and see what the fun and friendly rugby format is all about.
Players of all sporting abilities and rugby experience levels, including complete rugby novices are all welcome, with the taster sessions providing an easy introduction to the game and suitable for all levels of fitness.
Following the taster sessions, players can then sign up for an 8-week Autumn League at John Smeaton Leisure Centre with players able to sign up as individuals, small groups or full teams for the 7 a ‘side format incorporating 4 males and 3 females on the pitch at a time.
If you sign up as an individual or group, you will be placed with other individuals and groups to make a team. Each team will play one 40-minute game each week and this will be followed by a weekly after match social where players will get the chance to have a drink and a bite to eat with their team mates and opposition in a local pub.
For those interesting in officiating, Try Tag Rugby Yorkshire are looking for additional referees for the new league at John Smeaton as well as it’s other social adult leagues across West Yorkshire including Oulton (Monday), Alwoodley (Monday), Bingley (Tuesday) and Weetwood Sports Park (Wednesday).
Anybody interested in becoming a Try Tag Rugby Referee is invited to come along to our free referees workshop next Thursday, 25th August, in Kirkstall. Referees of all experience levels welcome.
