Touch Rugby

Touch Rugby is an exciting and inclusive game, played by teams of 6 players, that promotes the fundamental skills of running, passing, catching, evasion, and support play.

Played by participants of all ages and genders, Touch Rugby develops basic attack and defence skills in a minimal contact environment. Touch Rugby is also played in mixed-gender formats as well as men’s and women’s teams.
