Try Tag Rugby Wigan Autumn Registration Now Open

Following our short Summer Season, we have now opened registration for our Autumn Season beginning from 5th September.

With our usual Autumn floodlit venue of St Peters Catholic High School unavailable we are looking forward to taking our Monday night mixed league to the home of Wigan St Pats. We are also excited to announce that we will be running both a men’s and women’s only Saturday League in Ashton for 4 weeks during September.

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 is open to whole teams, part-teams (groups) and players looking to join a team. For any leagues which don’t sell-out in advance, registration generally closes four working days prior to the league commencing.

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 perfect for learning the game in your first season. For complete newcomers we are running a couple of Free Taster Sessions on the 29th August and 5th September. If you can’t attend a Free Taster Session, don’t worry you can still join a league. All new players will be given a rules briefing on arrival at the venue.

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.
