Touch Rugby
For all...
Touch Rugby at Old Reigatian RFC has been established for around 10 years now, initially set up for ex-contact players unable to continue with contact and enjoy the social side of rugby.
Since the pandemic, Touch has become very popular at the club, and we have developed with the times and are very welcoming to all levels of players and genders. Our focus is to ensure all players enjoy the session at their own pace, they have fun and some banter while gaining fitness.
Mixed Touch Rugby
Our sessions are for all aged 14+ on a Monday evening. We meet each week at 7.20pm, with a 7.30pm start, consisting of several games (depending on the number of players) which go on until 9.00pm. Mixed teams are arranged on arrival to ensure the teams are of equal abilities in a safe, friendly environment. Each year, we enter into tournaments, which are a great excuse to bond and be social with your teammates – surprisingly enough, we always do fairly well. We play all year round, rain or shine.
If you want to give the sport a go for the first time, an ex-contact player who loves rugby but cannot face any more injuries through contact rugby or just want to improve your fitness, with a great mix of sociable characters, a fantastic clubhouse, feel free to contact us and give ‘Touch at ORRFC’ a go!
Training:
Every Monday: 7.20pm – 9pm
Women's Touch Rugby
Our overriding ethos is to play Touch Rugby for fun, and all of our sessions are light-hearted games with plenty of encouragement and guidance, and no apologies for errors (those are how we learn). All skill levels are most welcome. Our group is made up of complete beginners through to county-level players.
Upper clothing is easy; wear something comfortable without hoods and dress in layers so you can cope with any temperature. Legs; wear shorts, leggings or joggers with comfort again being important. Feet; studded boots when the ground is soft, wet or slippery and trainers when the ground is dry and firmer.
Training Times:
Every Saturday: 10.30am – 12.00
Most Wednesdays: 7.30pm – 9.00pm
