COMMUNITY HEALTH • ZERO CONTACT • ALL AGES & ABILITIES
TOR WALKING RUGBY
A low-impact, fun, and sociable non-contact version of rugby played strictly at a walking pace. Ideal for staying active, recovering from injury, and enjoying great banter in a welcoming club atmosphere.
RULES & PLAYING FORMAT
HOW WALKING RUGBY WORKS
Walking rugby takes the core tactical skills of rugby — handling, spatial awareness, and team interplay — and removes running and physical impact.
- Strictly walking: One foot must remain in contact with the turf at all times.
- Two-handed touch: A gentle touch with two hands below the chest constitutes a tackle.
- Passing backwards: Classic rugby ball handling principles.
- No contact zones: Zero scrums, rucks, mauls, or contested lineouts.
