Please note that this is to introduce the game to children and/or adults to the game and you can be rest assured that it is very safe. The idea is to get as many participants at this level offering individuals to decide whether they would like play and to advance to the stages where contact rugby is played. However, contact play is also introduced in a manner that is safe for the players
