Camp types

Tag Rugby (Under-7s and Under-8s)

TAG camps are our introductory non-contact camp for active young boys and girls and aim to capture the magic and excitement of playing sport. TAG sessions and games are designed to develop physical literacy that would aid participation in any sport.

Camps are held over three consecutive mornings by the same encouraging and energetic coaches that work across the Tigers community.

TAG rugby camps are for children in the current season Under 7s and Under 8s age groups. The current season runs from 1st September 2018 until 31st August 2019 so they will remain in that age group for all TAG camps within that time.
