In 2 Touch Saracens Touch Rugby

2011 will see the return of Touch Rugby to Old Albanians RFC, the Saracens training ground, with the launch of the In 2 Touch/Saracens Summer Touch League.

Touch is an ideal sport for anyone, it is a fun minimal-contact game, suitable for all shapes, sizes, fitness levels and can be played by people of all ages and skill levels. With men and women able to play on the same teams, the sport has a great social atmosphere. This game is for everyone, social or serious, corporate or casual, amateur or professional.

Touch is easy to learn and a great way to get in shape, it is a low-time commitment meaning it is appealing to men and women who have work, family and social commitments but also enjoy exercising in a social environment.

Saracens have teamed up with In 2 Touch, the UK’s largest provider of Touch, with over 20,000 registered players, to run a Summer Touch league in St Albans. Teams of six aside (squads of up to 14 players) are needed, with mixed teams needing two women on the field at all times. There will be a men’s and mixed division and players need to be 16+ years old. The League will follow Federation of International Touch rules and team entry will feature:

• Three Free Taster evenings to learn the game, starting on Thursday 5th May at 6:45pm
• Eight weeks of League competition including a Finals Night (starts on Thursday 26th May)
• One 40 minute game per evening, refereed by qualified Touch referees
• Touch ball and Team playing shirts per team
• Clubhouse and Bar facilities open each week
• Weekly fixture emails and online team management system at www.in2touch.com
• Finals Night prizes and presentation.

The league is graded so you will compete against players with a similar experience or standard to yourself ensuring the league will remain enjoyable throughout.

In 2 Touch and Saracens place a large emphasis on the social side of the game (what happens off the field) and if you want to play some great Touch Rugby and have a fun summer with your friends come along

"Thank you again for organizing the league, the guys (and girls) really enjoyed it and we are going to keep on playing through the season. We now have recruited around 22 players and will look to enter 2 teams next season." Stephan Van Der Merwe
