In partnership with brand new sponsors Volkswagen, Ireland’s only official IRFU Tag rugby programme now known as Volkswagen Tag, launched registrations for teams playing in Ulster in 2012.
With Spring Leagues running for six weeks beginning in April and Summer Leagues from May to July, teams in Belfast look set to be part of the biggest and best season yet.
The growth of Tag has been hugely successful in spreading the popularity of the game of rugby and its non-contact nature and social aspect have made it accessible to both men and women in the specially graded levels hosted.
All levels of skill and fitness are catered for at the IRFU’s venues which, naturally, are rugby clubs which provide the best facilities for participants.
Registration fee for Spring League is only €200 and for Summer, €400 (payable online). This means for an average team of 12-13 players each team member is effectively paying a maximum of not even €4 per week.
Value is also important, particularly given these current economic climes being experienced by all.
The addition of Queens University Belfast hosting for the first time its Spring League and Malone aiming to go bigger and better this year make for an exciting season of tag ahead.
Registration of teams is performed online only and this is now possible on www.irfutag.ie
Bear in mind, some venues fill up even by mid-February so waste no time getting a team together.
Teams registering over the course of the coming weeks can also qualify for the IRFU Tag Rugby 2012 Competition Draw.
Players or teams can win VIP tickets to see Ireland play at the Aviva Stadium and exclusively invitations to post-match receptions too.
Details of draw and how to enter are available on the tag website along with the list of this year’s Volkswagen Tag venues.
