If you’ve heard the word “rugby” and immediately thought of heavy tackles, muddy boots, and complicated rules, think again!

Touch Rugby is a fast, lighthearted, non-contact game designed for everyone. Deepings RUFC has hosted Touch Rugby for years, and this summer, we want to invite the entire local community to join in. Whether you're looking to get a bit of active cardio, try a new hobby, or find something fun the whole family can do together on a summer evening, Touch Rugby is waiting for you.

What Is Touch Rugby?
More information: On the Touch Hub
Touch Rugby takes all the fun parts of rugby — running, passing, and scoring tries — and strips away all the heavy impact. Instead of tackling, defenders simply tap the ball carrier on the clothing, ball, or body with two hands.

Zero Contact, Zero Stress: No tackles, no scrums, and no falling to the ground. It’s light on the joints and friendly for all fitness levels.

How Easy Is It to Play?
You don't need to know the rulebook. If you can run forward, you already know 90% of the game.

A Game for Literally Everyone (Ages 6 to 86!)
Touch Rugby is one of the very few sports where the whole family can play on the exact same pitch at the exact same time.
Mixed-Sex & All Ages: Parents, sons, and daughters can play alongside each other in friendly, mixed games.

No Upper Age Limit: Grandparents, former players looking for a low-impact sport, and complete beginners are all welcome.
Friendly Community: The atmosphere is casual, supportive, and focused on having a good time rather than winning a trophy.
