I am vulnerable and have been shielding – should I come?
We’re recommending that anyone who has been shielding or feels vulnerable does not attend events unless they feel totally confident that it will not put their health at risk. This applies to spectators, staff, players and volunteers.
What if I start feeling ill at the EVENT?
If you start experiencing symptoms at an event or feel your condition is deteriorating, please notify a staff member and ready your self to go home immediately.(self isolate is advised if symptoms of coronavirus persist)
Is social distancing still in place?
Yes, certainly it is. Unfortunately we have to take all precautions to prevent the spread of coronavirus so in all instances we must distance ourselves while at pitch side our venue. Advisable to read up on the latest government announcements and social distancing rules.
What if I can’t get there by walking or cycling?
You can take the train, bus or Uber. You can also drive to Blackheath, although parking may be limited, we can provide a parking area for you, so reach out if necessary. Cycling is always encouraged but always plan ahead.
Why do I have to register? I can usually just turn up.
We are limiting audience capacities at every venue for safety reasons. Registering ensures that you will be able to visit or participate, otherwise we will have to turn people away.
If I’ve registered, why do I need to bring it with me?
We will invigilating all participants joining including marking attendance and in some cases scanning the tickets at entry points. Tickets will have QR codes on – you can present them on a smartphone, no need to print them off. This means that staff and security can ensure capacities are controlled safely and efficiently, and those who have purchased tickets will be guaranteed play.
Do I need experience to play?
Tag rugby is a non contact sport. The general atmosphere is welcoming and we play for fun, however there is a competitive streak in us all as it’s a team sport so it is helpful to read up on the rules of play. We will endeavour to guide you into the field of play as safely as possible.
What do I need to bring with me?
Generally with this sport you’ll be playing on a 3G (Astro) simulated green pitch or grass. It is advised to wear grip shoes or most ideally moulded boots. Tag shorts (Velcro) are a necessity. Water is always a good idea to hydrate. Due to covid we don’t recommend bringing any equipment like balls to practice with. Sharing items is totally prohibited.
