Summer Touch Rugby 2016 - RULES ADDED!
They're back! Our popular FREE Touch Rugby sessions start at 7.00 pm on Tuesday 17th May and will be even bigger and better than ever.
This summer we will welcome ALL ages and abilities and there will be dedicated pitches that are just right for everyone. Also this year there will be HOT FOOD & SNACKS on sale throughout the evening and the CLUB BAR will be open too!
Touch Rugby is a fantastic way to keep fit and to try out rugby without any physical contact – as the name suggests, tackling is via touching another player.
Our ‘Novice’ pitches will be aimed at Mums and Dads who want to have a run-around with the younger kids, and the rules will be very relaxed!
At the other end of the scale our ‘Expert’ pitch will be for experienced over 16’s only and will be refereed to formal RFU Touch Rugby rules (see document attached below).
In between we will have ‘Intermediate’ pitches where the format will be determined by the mix of players on the night.
Our Summer Touch Rugby sessions are FREE to participate in – we hope you’ll stay afterwards for an informal social in the fantastic new Clubhouse! If you’ve not been before then you’ll find rugby a very friendly and welcoming sport – the perfect way to make new friends.
We will keep ‘rules’ to the absolute minimum, however children under the age of 16 MUST be accompanied at all times (although you may play on different pitches). Also, for insurance purposes, we will ask for your name and contact details when you first play.
Gareth Thomas has kindly offered to organise the running of our Touch Rugby this summer – please contact him at garth102@hotmail.com if you have any questions or suggestions.
