Leagues

Try Tag Rugby Bristol Winter Leagues are open for registration.

We run leagues at Clifton Downs during the summer and on floodlit pitches at Lockleaze Sports Centre and Fairfield High School Playing Fields for the rest of the year. Some of our experienced players also run occasional training sessions on Clifton Downs.

If you wish to use an outstanding credit on your account for a deposit or individual registration, please contact us, stating which league you or your team wishes to register for.

If another lockdown occurs, all teams will be credited for any missed fixtures and refunds can be processed on request.

Registration

Registration opens a few weeks before a new league to whole teams, part-teams (groups) and players looking to join a team. Initially, existing teams have priority for signing up until the priority deadline for the season. For any leagues which don’t sell-out in advance, registration generally closes four working days prior to the league commencing. Once a league is full you can still sign up and join our waiting list and if a space arises later on we will get in touch.

Ringers & Dual Registration

As we’re now comfortable with our procedures around COVID-19 sanitisation & how they are working, we have decided to revert to normal rules for ringers & dual registrations. Dual registration is now allowed again at venues where two different categories run on the same evening, ie a mixed and a women’s league.

However please be aware that dual registration in two teams for the same league on the same night (i.e. two mixed teams on the same night) is only allowed if approved by us. Any players who wish to be approved to dual register in a league should contact us.

The maximum squad size over the course of the season remains at 20, however matchday squads will be limited to 12 players in order to make measures likely to be introduced manageable.

New players

New players and teams of all skills and fitness levels (from beginners to experienced players) are very welcome. If you are a beginner most leagues will have beginner – intermediate divisions which are suitable for learning the game in your first season. If you have not been able to make it to a Free Taster Session or a training session in advance then please have a look through the rules and regulations on the website.

Tag Rugby Shorts

International Tag Federation (ITF) shorts or tights must be purchased before taking to the pitch in all Try Tag Rugby leagues.

Tag shorts can be bought from Try Tag Rugby staff at our leagues using card only. There are also hire shorts available for £4 per session (free on taster sessions). For full details on the permitted shorts/tights please see the What Equipment Do I Need section in our FAQs.
