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.
