From under 6's, it's all about an introduction to the game with a huge emphasis on fun and friends. Under 6's and Under 7's do not tackle so it's a great starter. From U8's, tackling begins and the game is modified at each age level to provide a safe and fun playing format. As the kids get older, the games become progressively more expansive and challenging.
