• We will be introducing the half game rule for the games.

 

 

EXTRA INFORMATION:

Does my team need to know how to play rugby to attend?	If they can have a basic knowledge of passing that is helpful but you shouldn’t need to do lot of training with them as the carousel should help build that knowledge before the games.
How many a side are the games at the end?	The games will be 8 a side, with everyone else as a sub.
What is the half game rule?	From September 2019, the Half-Game Rule became regulation. It means that every player in clubs, schools and colleges is guaranteed to get half the available game time, regardless of age, gender, school or club.
Children will be mixed up with other schools. What does this mean?	We will split all the schools up into up to 6 different teams. Each school will stay on 1 pitch and will stay with their new teams for the whole festival. Teachers will be given a team of a mix of children to look after for the festival.
