ALL is set for the inaugural non-contact version of rugby, tag rugby, today at Harare Sports Club with over 60 participants expected.

The event is organised by Tag Rugby Zimbabwe Trust and is open to everyone, especially women above the age of 18.

Registration for participants closed yesterday afternoon.

A Tag Rugby Zimbabwe Trust representative said their aim was to help people understand the sport.

“The event is targeted at helping people get active in a fun and social forum playing non-contact rugby.

‘‘Prior to registration we had 60 places up for grabs to create a six-team tournament of 10 members each.

“The aim is create an environment of enjoyment, exercise, laughter as well as getting people from different backgrounds come together.

“This event is a pilot programme (we’ve never done it before) but this is the best method we have found to launch our programmes with.

‘‘Some funds raised will go towards the development the children’s careers.’’
