Touch Rugby
What is touch rugby?
Touch Rugby is a game that can be played by all ages, sizes and skill levels. The rules are easy to learn and are loosely based on the contact version of rugby. More information can be found at www.in2touch.com
Who can play?
Anyone! Teams consisting of ten players (with at least two women) take each other on over a forty minute non-contact game, with six players on the pitch at a time. Players must be over 14 for insurance purposes.
When does it start?
Last year, ‘Introduction to touch’ sessions started on Tuesday 19th April 2011. The league itself commenced on Tuesday 10th May, and saw twelve teams playing each other in two leagues of six. Each league was then split with the top three of each league going into the 'Premiership' competition. The bottom three of each league went into the 'Championship' competition. This ensured that the games remained competitive and enjoyable for all.
Where is it played?
At the home of Chesham Stags; the Chiltern Hills Academy. Directions can be found on the location page.
How much will it cost?
The club is ran last year's tournament at a cost of £100 per team for an eight week season, this works out at just over £1 per player, per week.
Why should I play?
Because it’s fun! Touch rugby is a great way to keep fit, meet new people and have fun in the sun. Plus; the club provides changing rooms, showers and of course, the bar!
-----
The club will introduce new joiners to the game of touch rugby before finding them a team to play with during the course of the tournament. Games are guaranteed for individuals wishing to give touch rugby a go, and teams are more than welcome to enter themselves in the tournament.
Event Organiser Moray Hogg said of last year's tournament; "It was our sixth annual Touch League with a record 12 participating teams. It was very competitive and our appeal for fair play and encouragement for the youngsters was well rewarded."
2011 Tournament Results:
Premiership Winners: Watford Baa Baas
