Touch Rugby was formerly known as Touch Football. It is a variant of rugby union played on grass fields. It is available for both men and women. Each team attempts to score a try by landing the ball on the try-line.
Touch rugby can be played with two H-shaped goalposts. Each team can have no more than six players at any one time. The number of players in each team can be adjusted by substituting players at any time. A minimum of one female player must be included in each team's roster. The Touchdown Zone lines and sidelines define the boundaries of the field of play. It is also marked from both sides.
A player with the ball has six touches before they can give it to the team. The touch rules may be broken and the player can be penalized. There are many reasons that penalties may be applied. Additionally, pass and touch penalties are common.
A touch refers to any touch that occurs on the ball carrier's body or another player's body. It can also be a touch on clothing. Touch is also taken into consideration when a player scores a try.
In addition, the ball carrier must perform roll ball at the point of contact. A roll ball is when a player passes the ball after it has been touched. This is the usual way to bring the ball back into play following a change in possession.
If a player from the defending team touches an attacking player, he should retire behind the try line to wait for the opposite player. To signal that an opponent has touched, a player should shout "touch" and let the opposing team know. The opponent can then force the player to step over the ball. A penalty can be given to the player if he retreats. If the player makes a forceful touch on an opponent, he can be penalized and sent off.
The opposing team has a five-metre line to retreat to after a touch. If a player from the opposing side has touched the ball or played it away from their five-metre line, they must leave their try line. Additionally, players cannot pass the ball into the possession of the opposing side. If the ball ends up in the possession of the opposing side, a penalty can be applied.
The half-point is where the try scoring team kicks off. The other team now has six chances for a try. A single point is given to mixed leagues. During men's leagues, a team can also be penalized for a tap.
At the spot where the ball hit the ground, the touch counts begin again. The defending team must then retire behind the try line and retreat five meters from the mark.
