Tag Rugby is a fun and exciting minimal contact social sport suitable for all adults, no previous rugby experience is necessary and it’s a sport that can be enjoyed by beginners and experienced players alike.

Playing Tag Rugby is a great way to meet new people, as well as a chance to meet up with existing friends. There will be weekly post-match socials, where players come together to enjoy a drink with their teammates and opposition.

The Newcastle licence will be run by Jack Oddie and Natasha Botto.

Jack Oddie said: “Natasha and I are absolutely thrilled to bring Try Tag Rugby to Newcastle and create an inclusive, active and social community here. As locals ourselves, we know how embracing Newcastle is and once people experience the game, we’re sure hundreds will take to it making Try Tag Rugby part of the dynamic and social fabric that makes Newcastle such brilliant and iconic city!”

Try Tag Rugby National Licensing Director, Carl Duckels said: “It’s fantastic to see Newcastle as one of the new locations that will be added to the Try Tag Rugby map this year. Having lived in Newcastle myself in the past, I know what a fantastic place it is and how friendly and fun loving its people are! When you combine this with the North East’s love of sport and getting outdoors, we think Try Tag Rugby is going to be a great fit.
