Touch Rugby

Touch Rugby is a game that enables men and women to play alongside each other, because it decreases the chances of getting injured. There is no tackling allowed, therefore strength isn't an important skill for this game. It is simple to understand and also easily played by all ages. A key skill for this game is speed and agility, as well as ball handling skills, such as catching and throwing. In Touch Rugby, a player has to simply have to tag a player of the opposite team with the ball and yell 'TOUCH', then run backwards five meters before the rivals run past.
