Rugby Virginia Youth League
Laws for Tag/Non-Contact Rugby

Note: The tag laws linked below comprise the Rugby Virginia modifications to the USA Rugby Full-Non Contact Laws, as agreed at the Rugby Virginia youth league meeting held June 13, 2010.  These modifications include recent changes to (1) Expand the tag zone to 2 meters around the ballcarrier; and (2) require that the tagger immediately place his hands up or behind his head to signal to the referee that he is the tagger; and (3) formalize that at the U-9 age group and younger, lineouts are uncontested.
