Rule Modifications

Just like the full version of the game Masters is 13 a-side, however rule modifications include:

The defensive line should be kept 5 metres back, instead of 10

Different coloured shorts for different age groups and the rules, plus players awareness during the game, are adapted accordingly. Tackles are modified according to age.

Short Colour and tackle rules

AGE 35-39 White & AGE 40-49 Black Shorts Players to tackle each other normally

AGE 50-59 Red Shorts Players must be physically stopped and held. On defence, red short players must make a definite two handed hold on the attacker

AGE 60-99 Gold Shorts Players to tackle or be tackled need to just touch, ie. No tackling

No more than two players allowed in any tackle and no fending/hand offs

Once progress has stopped, players are preferred to succumb

Rough and over vigorous play is not condoned, safety is paramount

Passive scrums happen after nearly all infringements and turnovers

Kicks only allowed on the last tackle

25 minutes each way with unlimited interchange

No coach is required, just a team captain who acts as the point of contact.

New Players always welcome. We meet throughout the year
