Touch is a minimal contact game, which gives you the opportunity to maintain fitness. Based on the game of rugby it improves handling and running skills, without the tackles and rucks. Touch is a simple game enjoyed by men and women from a range of sports and by those looking to get active again. Weekly training and monthly tournaments are held over the winter months, playing at Bedford Athletics Rugby Club on their fantastic artificial pitch every Wednesday at 8 pm.
