Schools are under pressure to find sports that are safe, inclusive and easy to run. Touch Rugby is a strong answer. It gives pupils a chance to play rugby without the risk of contact.
There are no scrums, no tackles and no rucks. That means fewer injuries and more time playing. Pupils spend more time with the ball and stay active throughout each session.
Touch Rugby is easy to teach. It suits both beginners and advanced players. Everyone learns the same skills: passing, defence, positioning and support.
It also works well in mixed groups. Boys and girls play together. Everyone has a role. Players learn teamwork, communication and game sense.
Schools that use Touch as a first step into rugby often see more pupils continue into contact formats later. The game gives them a strong foundation of skills and confidence.
Touch fits well in PE lessons. It keeps large groups moving. It avoids long stoppages. It can be played indoors or outdoors.
As more schools adopt it, Touch Rugby is becoming central to modern school sport. It offers a clear path into rugby and helps pupils enjoy sport for life.
