Why Play Touch? 

This video explains why Touch Rugby is perfect for every rugby club to include as part of their community!

How to Get It Started at Your Club 
A simple section covering what you actually need to play, how to organize sessions, easiest communication methods for teams, and finding a pitch
Benefits for Kids:
  • Complements existing contact rugby skills with improved vision, passing, space identification, and decision-making
  • Provides an entry point for older kids new to rugby without the contact element
  • Keeps players active with balls in hand during the off-season
  • Opens pathways to competitive touch tournaments across Surrey through TRY Sports
  • Most importantly: it's really, really fun!
Benefits for Clubs:
  • Attracts new memberships from families looking for non-contact options
  • Creates another active night with potential bar revenue from spectating parents
  • Builds a vibrant mini-community around the programme
  • Offers a summer activity for parents who prefer warmer weather over December/January rain
  • Generates positive word-of-mouth and community engagement
Support & Resources Section 
Resources on how we can help people get started, including communication tools and basic requirements. This section should reference that TRY Sports is there to help get it started and provide coaching/guidance.
Key Reminders to Include:
  • Just start - offer the free sessions and see who comes
  • No formal touch qualifications needed to get going
  • Fast, fun, enjoyable should be your guiding principles
  • Build gradually - start small and grow based on interest
  • Leverage your community - senior players, engaged parents, and club networks are your greatest assets
