About Touch Rugby
What is Touch Rugby?
Touch Rugby is a minimal-contact sport that focuses players on developing speed, co-ordination, and, above all, teamwork.
Brief History
Touch Rugby was initially developed as a training game to focus “full-contact” Rugby players on developing their physical and mental speed, agility, innovation, and teamwork. However, the removal of the physical impact of Rugby opened the sport up to mixed teams of men and women, young and old, large and small.
Since its establishment as an independent sport with standardized rules, Touch Rugby has become the fastest growing recreational sport in a large number of countries worldwide.
In 1985, the Federation of International Touch (FIT) was established to govern the sport (also known as Touch Football in Australia). The England TouchRugby Association (ETA), Members of FIT and Associate Members of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), governs Touch Rugby in England, currently under the able presidency of Clare Gregor.
