Are you into a social, fun and action-packed game like no other that is perfect for all fitness levels and abilities? Unlike traditional Touch Rugby, the ball can be passed forwards (and backwards, sideways, any way you like!) with teams only having two possessions to create a Touchdown; this creates an expressive style of play where the glory can be shared by the whole team.
People from all over New Zealand are now getting together with the friends, family and colleagues to take to the Turbo Touch® field or court. As a cross-training option for Netball, Rugby, Hockey, Soccer, Basketball, Touch Rugby or any other sport it’s the perfect social sport to keep you active and on-game. It’s not just for experienced sportspeople though, even if you don’t know a touchline from a centre circle, Turbo Touch® is easy to pick up but impossible to stop.
Turbo Touch® was developed by Touch New Zealand in association with Ike Tapine-Wilson and George Albert-Jahnke, two Touch players who wanted to create a sport that could be played all year, indoor and out, that a wide range of people could enjoy. It launched in Wellington in 2009, with competitions in New Zealand.
Children have taken to Turbo Touch® with massive enthusiasm and there was a launched Teachers Training Program to assist in getting the game into schools.
