I thought I would write a review to help new players who are thinking of joining. I would highly recommend Try Tag Rugby. Anyone who is looking to get into rugby regardless of ability, or just looking to expand their social circle. It's a great hobby that keeps you active, helps you make great friends and is great fun. Joining Try Tag Rugby was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I joined solo and was paired with a great team. It was easy to do. Everyone is really welcoming across both my team and the entire league. It's very well organised and refereed, and I've met so many awesome people. You get to go to the pub after the game for a social catch up with free pizza. What more do you want? Sign up now!!

Love the Monday women’s league at Hyde park, it’s really helped my confidence and getting to understand more of the tactics of tag.

I have played tag rugby for most of my life and been involved with try tag rugby in the UK since 2011. Back when I started, try tag was still in its early days and with that carried the advantage of having a booming social element due to having less leagues, less teams and fewer players. I felt the company thrived with the opportunities that a small scale brought with it, it meant that each league and one day tournament was run with a very high level of proficiency, expertise, fun and genuine good times were had and life long friendships were made. Fun and inclusiveness was encouraged and it bread an atmosphere that anyone of any sex, size or shape could come along and have a go. And for a long time, it was amazing. As well as the fun side, the league itself was run at a professional level with league organisers always on hand and referees being trained to a very high level of the game. The refs played as well as reffed and understood the rules inside out, which meant that each game was reffed fairly and well. As with most businesses, try tag grew in popularity and numbers, but I felt that there was no plan in place for that. Leagues were all over London and year by year the company recorded record numbers, but with it came a dramatic and noticeable drop of quality across all leagues. It just became an unenjoyable and often nasty experience. Suddenly, due to the high demand, leagues grew but were not graded. New players were miss sold 'beginner social leagues' but instead guy and girls who'd never touched a football before in tehir lives were facing off against GB reps, and with the 30-0 score line becoming a regular occurrence for most teams on a weekly basis, sadly a lot of teams folded and people walked away. Try tag had lost that all inclusive, anyone can have a go vibe which is once carried so brightly. As well as this drop in league fairness, the sport saw a drop in ref standards too. Refs were at the start trained for the job which they got paid for. Often in the early days we'd play a friendly and a new ref was being coached by the league organiser and be given tips on what to work on and what they did well, however now we see anyone who wants to earn as easy £11 put their hand up for a yellow shirt and run out there without a clue of the rules. It's embarrassing and frustrating as a player who knows the rules to be told by a ref that the 'six again rule doesn't exist' or that they 'wont call the fends because it'll just slow down the game' or my personal favourite 'I didn't see it, but the defending team said they saw a knock on, so i'll call that'. I have complained about this several times to the ref themselves, the league organiser and even the former CEO of the company but the standard keeps dropping and the complaints from the people who pay to play fall of def ears. I know I personally filled out the survey yearly and have never once had a reply. For what once was a great game run and played by really great people, has sadly lost its charm in the name of growth and profit.

I started tag rugby to get a good mix of socialising and fitness, and got a whole lot more than I bargained for. Tag is a great community and I recommend it to everyone. Even those who have never done sport before. If you just want to run around and get some fresh air, come and play. If you just want to meet new people, still come and play.

Discovered Try Tag Rugby in my local park, after approaching a player to find out how to get involved I was invited onto their team. It has been a fantastic way to meet new people and keep fit at the same time. Leagues are really well organised with a good social scene after games. Many social teams play for fun so get involved regardless of your fitness levels or experience. I'd say it's a number one way to make friends and have fun in a friendly sporting community.

I have been playing TAG Rugby with TTR now and have never looked back. I registered as an Individual and was placed into a new great team. The league is exceptionally well run and the organisers are really friendly and helpful. In addition the the rugby itself which is a great little workout, there is always a post match social. Would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to get into sport regardless of ability, or just looking to expand their social circle!

Since starting playing tag-rugby a couple of years ago, I have always enjoyed it and now I make every effort not to miss it! Besides helping me improve my fitness, I have made friends for life through tag-rugby, so I would recommend it to anyone getting back in shape and wanting to find a great social life!

I've been playing tag rugby now for 4 years now. It's so much fun, very well organised and great for your fitness. I've made so many new friends. I never thought any sport involving rugby would be for me but I honestly couldn't recommend it enough

Tag Rugby is a fantastic sport and Try Tag have done a truly brilliant job developing it across the UK over the past ten years. Their biggest achievement, however, has been the community they've built around the game and the fantastic atmosphere around their tournaments which they've developed. When I arrived in London I was, like most new Londoners, looking for something to keep active with and a community to join. Try Tag Rugby provided that and more - fun, friendship and fitness! Five years, and multiple leagues, tournaments, holidays, weddings and so forth on, I'm still playing and still having a great time. What more could you ask for?

Joining Try Tag Rugby was one of the best decisions I made, and made 2018 (and 2019 so far!) truly awesome. Very well organised and refereed, and I've met so many awesome people. When I started I had never played rugby (tag or otherwise) in my life, but everyone was so friendly and happy to help me learn. Get fit, make friends, spend post-games at the pub! What more do you want? Admittedly, it can be a little costly, but overall, well worth it!

Wanted some exercise and to play a bit of rugby. Wasn't sure full contact would really fit into working life and touch rugby is a bit lame. Tag is a great half way house. I joined solo and was paired with a team. It was easy to do. Everyone is really welcoming across both my new team and the wider league. It's well run and very convenient. I would highly recommend to any skill levels as a great hobby that keeps you active.

I was unsure about playing tag rugby but TTR were so beginner friendly and it was so easy to integrate right in. I also love how social it is!
