About Touch Football
Touch Football is a simple sport that everyone can play. The 7 simple rules are below:
See https://touchfootball.com.au/about-touch-football/ for more information about the sport, including the rules, Beginners Hub and kit ideas.
- There are six players for each team on the field at a time. Though there can be up to 14 players on the team, with unlimited substitutions.
- You can only pass backwards.
- If you get touched with the ball, you have to put the ball on the ground and step over it.
- The person who collects the ball, known as the ‘dummy half’, should try to offload quickly because they’re not allowed to get touched or score. If they do, it’s a ‘changeover’ (the ball goes to the other team).
- The team that makes the touch has to get back seven metres before they can make another touch.
- After six touches to a team, there’s a changeover.
- The ball can’t touch the ground. If it does, it’s a changeover.
