Rules of Touch Rugby:

The attacking team must start with a tap from the middle of the field.

The defending team must be back 10 meters for the start of play, and 5m after each touchdown.

After a team scores the play begins again with a tap in the middle.

The person who takes the role of dummy (scrum) half can cross the try-line but can not score.

If the dummy half is touched while in possession of the ball it is a turnover.

ROLL BALL:
After being touched, the player touched must roll the ball BACK between their legs.

The attacking team continues play until they have BEEN touched 6 times.

After being touched 6 times the ball is handed over to the other team.

ROLL BALL:
After touching the attacking player (with the ball), all defending team members must retreat 5m.

Ball to Ground: When the ball is dropped on the ground it is a turnover.

Turnover: When the attacking side looses the ball to the opposition.

No control: When the ball is thrown, dropped, knocked on, in a touch.

When someone is penalized their team must then retreat 10m.

PENALTY:
Ball on the ground - let go of the ball - touch the ball with your foot - pick up the ball. If the defending players do not retreat they are offside.

If a touch is considered to be too strong.

KEEP YOUR ARMS DOWN ~ NO SWINGING ARMS !

Offside: When the defending players have not retreated 5m.

Forward Pass: When the ball is passed in front of the player who are in possession of the ball.

Touch and Pass: When the person who is touched then passes the ball.

Voluntary Rolled Ball or No Touch: When the player is not touched and rolls the ball between their legs.

More than a Meter: The ball must not be rolled more than one meter.

Shepherd or Obstruction: Obstructing a touch from the defending side.

Deviation: When a defender changes their direction before retreating straight back 5m.

For minor offenses i.e. bickering with refs, shouldering, leg trips etc...the player will be sin binned for three minutes without replacement.

Foul play of any nature (the referee being the sole judge) will result in the offending player being sent from the field without replacement.
