Team Composition
Each team consists of a maximum of 14 players, with 6 players on the field at any time. For mixed-gender games, teams are typically required to have a specific ratio of male to female players.
The Objective
The primary goal is to score tries by grounding the ball on or over the opponent’s try line. The team with the most tries at the end of the match wins.
Possession
team is allowed up to six touches before possession is turned over to the opposing team. A touch is made when a defending player touches the player holding the ball.
The Touch
Touches are the primary defensive action, replacing tackles in traditional rugby. Once touched, the ball must be played through a rollball, which involves the attacking player placing the ball on the ground and rolling it back with their foot.
Starting and Restarting Play
Play begins with a tap from the halfway line. After a try is scored, the opposing team restarts play in the same manner.
Game Duration
A standard touch rugby match consists of two 20-minute halves, with a short halftime break.
