Rugby Touch

Blood, sweat and rugby

We are proud to offer Rugby Touch in our official sports programme together with our partner Rugby Club Bern.

This tournament will be played in mixed teams and with the official Federation of International Touch (FIT) Playing Rules (no full-contact). A team consists of a maximum of 14 players per game and is played with rolling subs, but at any time, three female players of each team must be on the pitch (the other players can be of any gender). Each game consists of two halftimes of 12 to 15 minutes.

Depending on the number of teams, each team will play at least five games (three games in the group phase and two games in the finals).

It is possible to register for the tournament as a team or without one. Please keep in mind that the registration fee is due per person.
