Maul (3v3)

Maul rules and permitted numbers are age dependent. U11 has a strict 3v3 limit.

  • Maul is limited to 3v3 (including ball carrier).
  • A maul starts when the ball carrier is held by one or more opponents.
  • The ball carrier's knees must not touch the ground. If they do, it becomes a tackle.
