Touch Rugby is an exciting blend of running, passing, kicking, and scoring. The object of the game is, by running, passing, and kicking the ball, to advance and touch the ball down in your opponent’s Goal Area (like an end zone). Rugby combines the fitness of soccer, the evasive running of football, the passing of basketball and is very easy to learn. CV Youth Rugby offers summer rugby for boys and girls ages 7 to 15.
