Tartan Touch
What is Tartan Touch?
Tartan Touch is Scottish Rugby’s Fun, Simple and Social version of non-contact rugby. It’s a game for all abilities and all ages played throughout the Summer months. In the past two seasons, hubs have welcomed players aged 5 to 75 years old from having never played rugby to retired players!
What are the rules?
AIM: Touch the ball down over opponent’s goal line. To do this, keep possession by avoiding being touched.

Each hub will be provided with kit and equipment to help transform the club into a Tartan Touch Hub as well as marketing support including a Tartan Touch nationwide marketing campaign and a promotional toolkit. Please note, it is essential that sessions adhere to the Scottish Government guidance in place at that time.
