Try Tag Rugby: Taster Session (beginners welcome)

Try Tag Rugby are running a taster session at Reading RFC on Monday 9 November, from 8pm to 9pm. It's a session for beginners, so if you've never played before, that's exactly who it's for.

If you're not familiar with it, Tag Rugby is a minimal-contact version of rugby with no tackling, which cuts the risk of injury and opens the game up to everyone. It's usually played in a seven-a-side format and is one of the fastest-growing, all-inclusive social sports for adults, with mixed, men's and women's leagues running across the UK on weekday evenings and weekends. A 40-minute game burns upwards of 600 calories and players cover around 1.8 miles, or some 3,800 steps.

These taster sessions are run by experienced Try Tag Rugby staff, referees or coaches, and the club bills them as fun and friendly—a chance for adults who've never played Tag Rugby to have a go and see what it's like. You don't need any experience, kit or a team to take part, and a post-match social at a nearby partner pub rounds off the evening.

The session is at Reading RFC, Holme Park/Sonning Lane, Reading RG4 6ST, on Monday 9 November from 8pm to 9pm, and it's free.
