The nature of Touch Football ensures there is a place on the field for everyone due to it being simple game. Touch Football has a number of mental and physical benefits though, which can improve the state of people’s mental and physical health and fitness (Play Touch Rugby League, 2016). Touch Footballers are constantly on the move from sprinting, walking, jogging to dodging, diving and jumping, working all muscles are the body and increasing the bodies heart rate (Rlskilzsportscamp, 2016). The fast paced nature of the sport ensures participants are always moving no matter what they are doing in its small time frame of around 40

The athletes, although disabled, show more courage and bravery than anyone, fighting just as hard and just as rough as in traditional rugby. Being a full contact sport, wheelchair contact is an essential part of the game. A rougher version of bumper cars, the players show extreme athleticism throughout the 32-minute game. Mark Zupan, a red head with a fiery temper and pivotal player on the USA team, describes the ratings of each player based on their mobility in their upper body. The team’s score cannot exceed 8 points when on the court, combining player’s scores from .5, the lowest mobility, to 3.5 the highest mobility. The mobile players handle the ball while the other players play defense, tackling and blocking. A simple watered down version of the goals of the game is to get the ball over the line on the opposing teams side, tackling and bumping your way across the court as hard as you possibly

The game starts with a scrum, which is the forwards or scrumies. They push each other until the ball is kicked back enough to be placed out of the scrum. From there, a player can only advance by passing back or going in for a ruck. A ruck is when the player with the ball is tackled, a player from the same team puts their legs over them so the other team cannot grab the ball. If the ball goes out of bounds a hooker and the teams line out team goes and competes for the ball. (Rugby History,

(Amezdroz, 2010) Passing and catching is an essential part of being a middle, whether it is receiving from the dummy half or passing out to a wing; these movements require limbs to move in the right direction and at the right speed to be preformed effectively.

Touch is fast and skilful game attracting participants of all shapes and sizes, genders and backgrounds. Touch began as a training game for the two rugby codes during the 1950's and 60's it was never seen as a sport in its own right.

Helmetless Training: It sounds contradictory, to protect the heads of football players, it might advisable to have them occasionally practice without head protection.

The six players were picked by the coaches, because they had been seen using unsafe tackling techniques. A 10-step analysis was performed to judge if the child was progressing toward a safer tackle. A safe tackle was defined as leading with the shoulder while keeping the head to the side of the opposing player’s body to avoid making helmet-to-helmet contact or contacting the opposing player with the crown of the helmet. A total of three or four trials were performed for each participant during the two-hour practice for three days a week. One researcher instructed and watched in person while a second observer recorded video for 35% of the practice sessions and games, which was also used for analysis. The researchers used a multiple baseline across participants design to evaluate the effectiveness of the BST. The baseline sessions started after the team finished the standard fundamental tackle practice. The participants were asked to demonstrate their tackles as they normally would in practice and the researchers did not provide any feedback. Then, later on the researcher provided instruction through each step of

While playing football, or really any sport, you must have mental agility and be able to think quickly to play the game well. Throughout many events in the article “What Could Be Better Than a Touchdown”, the football player had to be a fast thinker and be fast on his feet. Sanneh, the author of this article wrote “Touchdown! And also perhaps a mistake? There are few situations in football where scoring an easy touchdown is the wrong thing to do.”

Positions are important in every aspect of life, from lying in bed to driving a car. Where one being is in relation to another is extremely vital to the well-being and safety of those involved. In “What is the Safest Sprint Starting Position for American Football Players?,” an expository text about a scientific experiment, authors Bruno Bonnechere, Benoit Beyer, Marcel Rooze, and Jan Serge Van Sint claim that they have isolated the correct position American football players should use when playing. This optimal position is the one most likely to protect the players and prevent any severe head injuries from occurring on the field.

In order to block you follow the opposite team member, watch their feet as they jump for the ball, as they jump you jump with them, your arms straight up side by side. This basically creates a wall for the ball to hit and not break the plane of the net. Another big thing you must watch for aside from the opposing teams kills is their tips. If they knew that you are going to be there for the block then they may barley hit the ball over so it lands right beside or behind you. So you must be able to know whether they are going to tip it or spike it. If you are playing the net you cannot touch the net or cross the line underneath the net or it is called on your team and the opposing team gets the ball back.

As the St Mary’s Open Touch Coach I must first understand the functions of energy systems. Knowing how much a player can withstand a position on the field, before their ATP and anaerobic glycolysis energy system is depleted is essential for success. To minimise as well as equalise work load, a strategy that can be used is arrowing the side line a few times before splitting the ball to the other side. A defensive strategy in touch, when an area is constantly being arrowed is for the player to make the touch, while the player next to him commits the next touch... and so forth. To maximise the performance of players, regular substitutions; especially players In the middle should be made, taking into consideration that ATP is a short burst of energy lasting for a maximum of 15 seconds and at least 2 minutes to replenish,

This is attempted when the opposing team has made a penalty against the other team and that team has the chance to kick a goal which is very similar to a field goal. A conversion is just like a two-point conversion in football but instead of running the ball or passing it, rugby kicks it like a field goal and is still two points. Lastly, is the drop goal. A drop goal is worth three points. To score you must be in an open play and the player must drop the ball on the ground and kick it to the goal after the ball has already

Rugby union, or simply Rugby, is a full contact team sport, a form of football which originated in England in the early 19th century.
