Touch Football (rugby League) - Rules

Rules

These rules discuss the most common form of touch as governed by the Federation of International Touch but minor local variations are sometimes used. For the full set of rules see the F.I.T. Rulebook (pdf)

Note that the sport of Touch has a number of recognised variations including:

  • Beach Touch, where the defence has one less player than the attack and as the name suggests, is played on beach.
  • 1-Touch, where the attacking team is allowed 1 possession to score before handing the ball over.
  • 2-Touch, same as above except the attacking team is allowed 2 touches.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    A man often thinks he rules himself, when all the while he is ruled and managed; and while his understanding directs one design, his affections imperceptibly draw him into another.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    The new grammar of race is constructed in a way that George Orwell would have appreciated, because its rules make some ideas impossible to express—unless, of course, one wants to be called a racist.
    Stephen Carter (b. 1954)
