OZTAG football is the latest craze in recreational sport that now has competitions running all over Australia, with the largest areas located in Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra |
It is a game designed to be the only true non-contact form of Rugby League.What makes this game different to others is that a tackle is effected when a strip of cloth attached by Velcro, known as a tag , is removed from the side of a player's shorts. |
In OZTAG fotball the attacking team has the advantage (you run at spaces not faces). |
All skills are utilised in OZTAG football including kicking. Passing becomes an attacking weapon, and if a player is put into a gap, there is a high probability they will make a clean break. When attacking the line, fancy moves such as around-the-corner passes work well, often making the defender stoop low to remove the tag. The rules are basically the same as Rugby League with the ball being allowed to go to the ground with the advantage rule applying - this results in is a lot of broken field play. Teams kick off as in League and drop-outs are also taken from one's own in-goal area. Kicking in general play is allowed but it |
