OZTAG football is the fastest growing recreational sport in Australia, with the largest areas located in Sydney, Brisbane, and Canberra.
It is a non-tackling game based on Rugby League. Normal dimensions of the field are 70 metres x 50 metres. Two fields will fit on one rugby or soccer field. Eight players in each team are on the field at any one time.
Players wear shorts with a Velcro patch on each side. A strip of cloth is attached to the Velcro, known as a tag. The object of the game is to score tries. Defenders prevent this by tagging the ball carrier, removing the tag from the shorts.
