What is touch

Looking something similar to Rugby, the aim of the game is to score tries, but without the tackling, scrumming, lineouts and kicking. Played on half the size of a conventional sports field, Touch is an enjoyable game that can be picked up in an afternoon.

While there are opportunities to play Touch competitively, our In 2 Touch leagues and events are played at varied social levels with friends, colleagues and family all getting involved. It’s a great way to meet new people in the surrounding area.

Playing in the In2Touch leagues allows established teams and new players/complete beginners a chance to get into the game, to play at a grade that suits their ability, and develop their skills and experience. All while enjoying the important social aspects Touch offers on and off the pitch. The game’s objective is to score more tries than the opposition, where all tries are worth one point, regardless of who scores. A try is scored when the ball is placed on or over the try line in a controlled manner. There is NO tackling, NO kicking and NO scrums or lineouts. Only the minimal amount of contact between a defender and an attacker to affect a Touch.

How long is a Touch rugby match, and what is the size of the pitch?

A standard match is 40 minutes long, consisting of two 20-minute halves. At a few venues, games may be shorter than standard. In this case, the match length will be noted in the league details section of our website. Matches at tournaments are generally shorter due to teams playing a series of games over the day.

How do I register a team or as an individual?

Follow the instructions once clicked on the REGISTRATION button, choosing the venue, division (mixed, women’s or men’s) and day that you’d like to play on. You can also register as an individual for any night and any venue you wish. If we put an individual team together for that particular venue, we would contact you to check your availability.

Do I need any experience playing Touch?

No. Touch is an easy game to learn, with women and men of all ages taking up the game that they have never played before. New players and teams can learn the game in our beginner standard leagues. However, experienced players do also play the game, and if you are one of these players, our A-Grade leagues will be a good test of your skills and fitness.

We will advertise the amount of game time over the course of the day in the lead up to each tournament. The pitch can be between 50 and 70 metres long and between 42 and 50 metres wide. A typical standard pitch runs across half a full-sized rugby or football pitch, making two pitches on a full-sized pitch.

If we were to find you a team to play in, the costs would be £60 per player, per season for the London leagues. We may not be putting an individual team together at the venue you wanted, so you may want to also register as a ‘ringer’ – this would notify any team looking for an additional player on any night of your availability. There are no hidden costs to teams of individuals. The fee shown is the total amount you pay for each league you play in.
