League tag is a modified code of rugby league football. League tag is a version of rugby league and maintains the basic structure of the original game. It was designed initially as a coaching aid to give players a feel of rugby league without the risk of injury that full contact carries. Tagging the ball to affect a tackle, rather than simply any ‘touch’ or the removal of a tag from the hips of an opponent was chosen because upper body tackling and stopping the ball in the tackle is such a feature of modern rugby league. Unlike touch football and tag rugby, league tag allows ball carriers to try to prevent the ball from being tagged by holding-off a defender or knocking a defenders arm away. However, ‘hand-offs’ or ‘fends’ to the face, by the ball carrier are not allowed. Defenders can hold on to a ball carrier whilst trying to tag the ball, but they are not allowed to attempt to tackle the ball carrier to the ground. These rules allow league tag to be played on grass or all-weather pitches such as astro-turf, etc. == Origin == League tag was developed by the rugby league club of University College Cork in Ireland as the club were given limited facilities and many of the recruited players were novices to any code of rugby and contact sport in general, a game that could be played on astroturf as well as grass with an emphasis on participation was required, league tag evolved from this. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「League tag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
