"Touch!!! what a game!!"

Why is touch so good!

Touch is a minimal contact sport played on a pitch half the size of a rugby field (ie 50m x 70m). The game emphasises running, agility, passing, catching and communication. There is no tackling, lineouts, scrumming or kicking involved. This make it appealing to a wide range of ages and abilities, from juniors to masters and from slight to heavy builds. Mixed (mens and ladies combined) touch is played throughout the world. In Switzerland mixed touch is considered the main game which everybody here wants to play.
