tag rugby - anyone know about this ?

[binker]

My son's school is offereing a course in tag rugby next term - he is 8, but quite unsporty and a bit uncoordinated - was wondering whether it might be a good idea to sign him up ? He is not terribly good at throwing or catching and I was hoping it might build up his confidence ! can anyone advise ? thanks !!

Tag rugby is completely different to real rugby. Ourschooldon't even use a ball most of the time! The tags are velcroed around the childrens waists and they chase each other to get them off (this is obviously an incredibly simple explanation there is a lot more to it than this!!). IME as a teacher it is a good way to help children with their coordination and it is a lot of fun. If your son is willing then yep, it would be a great thing for him to take part in.

Both my boys have played tag Rogby and even the little one who has coordination problems etc has enjoyed it I can recommend it.

thanks both of you...will talk to him about it !
