Outside Play Guidelines

Guidelines for Playing Tag Rugby or Hi Intensity Team Games on the School Playground/Field Tag Rugby or Hi Intensity Team Games become a health and safety risk on the field when:

• There is insufficient space for the size and speed of individuals involved
• The grass is wet and slippy (appropriate boots must then be worn and this cancels out the risk - but trainers can be hazardous)
• Games rules are not being followed or strictly adhered to (e.g. for tag rugby there must be two hands on the ball when carrying it and 'fending or handing off' is prohibited / no grabbing of clothes/no tripping etc.).
