The Central Coast provides a range of participation options for Oztag enthusiasts with social and competitive competitions, development programs, and representative pathways, available across the Central Coast.

Oztag has competitions running all over Australia, with Central Coast Oztag being one of the largest regions with 850 Plus teams.

Oztag is a non-tackling game, with eight players in each team and players wearing shorts or tights with a Velcro patch on each side, known as a tag. The object of the game is to score tries, with defenders preventing this by tagging the ball carrier, by removing at least one tag from the players’ shorts.

All skills are utilised in Oztag including running, passing and kicking, with the game considered to be a low/medium-contact sport and games played over 40 minutes (two twenty minute halves).
