School Bans Kids From Playing Tag – ‘They Touch Too Hard’
FOLSOM, Calif. — Tag, touch football and any sort of physical contact are now prohibited at California’s Gold Ridge Elementary School.
Principal David Frankel banned such activities to protect children from getting hurt.
“Today we implemented new procedures at school aimed at reducing physical contact and related problem behaviors,” Frankel wrote in a note to parents. “Student(s) were instructed that physical contact, including tag games, touch football, etc. were not allowed in the yard.”
Frankel emailed four parents with a warning and a description of the discipline their children will face for playing too rough, The Sacramento Bee reported.

“Today your child received a warning for unsafe/physical play (i.e tag/pushing),” Frankel wrote. “They walked with the yard supervisor for the remainder of recess.”
One child interviewed by the CBS affiliate in Sacramento said some kids were playing too rough.
“My principal, he doesn’t want us to have tag at school because people, they touch too hard,” fourth-grader Mallory Giddens said. “I don’t really like it. I mean, I don’t really play tag but I don’t think it’s fair to everyone else that plays tag”
Students at the school in Folsom, a Sacramento suburb, face three levels of punishment for playing too hard, The Bee reported. The levels are:
- Warning and walk with yard supervisors.
- Referral to the principal’s office and removal from yard for a day.
- A “parent-teacher-principal disciplinary conference.”
The ban is only at Gold Ridge and not throughout the entire Folsom Cordova Unified School District.
