Touch Rugby used to be known as Touch Football until many years ago. It is a version of rugby union that plays on grass. It can be played by men, women, and mixed teams. A team's aim is to score a try by grounding the ball behind the try-line.
Touch rugby is played on two H-shaped goalsposts. Each team is allowed a maximum of six players on the field at any time. The number of players in each team can be adjusted by substituting players at any time. At least one woman must be a member of the team. The Touchdown Zone lines and sidelines divide the field of play. It is also marked on both sides of the field.
Six touches are allowed for the player who is in possession of the ball before the team can take possession. A violation of touch rules can result in the player being penalized. There are many reasons to be penalized. In addition, touch and pass penalties are also common.
A touch refers to any touch that occurs on the ball carrier's body or another player's body. Touch can also occur on clothing. Touch is also considered on a player's act of scoring a try.
Roll ball must be performed by the ball carrier at the contact point. Roll ball refers to a pass made by a player following contact. This is how you bring the ball back in play after a change.
If the opponent's player touches the attacking player, the defense team player must immediately retire behind the tryline and wait for his counterpart to do so. A touch made by an opponent is considered aggressive. Therefore, any player making a forceful touch on the attacking player must signal with "touch" that he has done so. The player must then step over the ball. The referee may award a penalty if the player retreats. He can also be sent off for making a forceful contact with an opponent.
After each touch, the opposing side has a 5-metre line that they can retreat to. Players of the opposing teams must also abandon their try line after touching the ball. In addition, a player may not pass the ball into the opposing team's possession. If the ball is passed into the opposing team's possession, a penalty is awarded.
The try is scored by the team that scores at least half of the points. The other team now has six chances for a try. Mixed leagues award one point. During men's leagues, a team can also be penalized for a tap.
At the point where the ball touched the ground, the touch count begins again. The defending teams must then leave the try line and return five meters to the mark.
