Northern Rugby Football Club

SPONSORS

Although the Mini/Youth section does all it can to raise its own funds we still rely very heavily on very generous sponsorship and we would like to offer great thanks for the continued support of Sanderson Young, UNW, Watson Burton LLP and to our new sponsors RSM Bentley Jennison and EAGA.

All involved in the Sponsorship have children playing at the club and the success and future of the mini/youth section is important to them. Once again, many thanks.

• Play games with small numbers, no more than seven

• Passes may be sideways or backwards through the air

• Free pass restart, opponents 7 metres away on line parallel to goal line.

• No scrum.

• No line out. A ball going in to touch will result in the opposing side restarting the game with a free pass from the point on the touchline where the ball went out of play.

• No kicking.

• A tackle - a 'Tag' - is made by removal of one of the two tags from the ball carriers belt.

• The tagged player must pass the ball to a team mate within 3 seconds. The tagged player must stop running as soon as possible (within 3 strides is a reasonable guide).

• The tagger must stop running and wait for the tagged player to reclaim their tag before re-joining the game.

• No diving to score or falling on the ground.

• No hand offs, fend offs or barging.
