Girls' Tag Rugby in Coventry – Fun, Friendship and Teamwork

If your daughter is looking for a new sport, wants to try rugby or would love to be part of a friendly girls' team, Berkswell and Balsall Rugby Club is a great place to start.

The club's girls' tag rugby sessions welcome girls aged 8–18, whatever their previous sporting or rugby experience. It's all about having fun, learning together, building confidence and enjoying being part of a team.

Tag rugby is a non-contact version of rugby, making it a great way for girls to experience the excitement of the sport without tackling. Players wear tags attached to a belt, which opponents remove to stop play. Along the way, they'll develop rugby skills, agility, coordination, fitness and teamwork.

The girls train together in a friendly and encouraging environment, with a mix of experience levels and a warm welcome for newcomers.

Sessions are led by Kevin McLish, an experienced coach, former rugby player and dad, who is DBS checked.

There are also opportunities to take part in local girls-only tag rugby festivals, where the team can meet other local clubs and enjoy playing together.

To celebrate the girls' efforts and achievements, the team awards a Star of the Week each week, recognising players for their effort, improvement, teamwork and positive attitude.
