"Touch" is a non-contact, fun, simple and fast ball game, which originated in Australia. It is often played in mixed teams, but there are also seperate Men's and Women's division. This makes it very attractive for both men and women of all ages and skill levels. Touch is easy to learn and is great for fitness. Touch can be a once a week social event amongst friends, or taken very seriously all the way to the Touch World Cup. It's one of the fastest growing sports in the world.

Touch incorporates the fundamental skills of running, passing, side-stepping and support play without getting hurt. Beside the tactics this sport trains not only your speed and fitness but also your capacity of reaction. All that while having fun.

The only things you have to bring are shoes (Basic sports/running shoes - preferably with good grip) and sports wear like for jogging. Players normally wear soft rubber cleated shoes, similar to those used in other grass sports such as field hockey or soccer. Screw-in studs/cleats and metal studs/cleats are strictly prohibited, though moulded-sole soccer boots (such as turf boots) may be worn.

Everything else is provided by us. 

Touch is an outdoor sport  - so we play outside all year. This helps you to stay fit and is a good opportunity to train your ball skills during all kinds of weather conditions.

Touch evolved from Rugby but it is a non-contact sport - so hard tackles are prohibited. Injuries in Touch are definitely not common. In our Trainings we'll always start with warm-up exercises to prevent injuries especially in wintertime.
