NORTH WALES RANGERS TOUCH RUGBY TRIALS DAYS
Complete the form below with your name, age, gender, club (if applicable) and contact email address to register to take part in the trials. We will be in touch with more information soon:
North Wales Rangers Touch Rugby, supported by the Welsh Rugby Union, will be running two Trials days on the 19th and 26th August 2018. These days will consist of around four hours of Touch Rugby drills and games, along with discussions on how the official sport differs from the more social game that many rugby clubs play.
We will be looking for players who have the right potential to train for the North Wales Rangers side, but at the same time, this will be a taster session of how to play the game by the rules of the Federation of International Touch (FIT), the governing body of the sport of Touch, and some basic tactics to get the most out of the game.
What do we mean by potential? Do you have to be a great rugby player or have experience of playing Touch? No. While the ability to run and pass the ball is ideal, what we are more interested in are players who are willing to learn, so even if you have never picked up a rugby ball in your life or played any other sport, there are no restrictions on whether or not you can take part.
Touch is a mixed gender sport. There are women’s teams, men’s teams and also mixed teams, with men and women playing on the same team. There is also no upper restriction on age. At international level, there are teams for over 27s (women), over 30s, over 35s, over 40s and over 45s (men). We do ask a minimum age of 15 to take part in the trial days.
​
In order to facilitate travel, we are running one Trials day in Bangor and one in Ruthin, but there is no restriction on which one you can attend - feel free to attend either one, or both if you wish!
​
The locations for the trials are:
​
19th August 2018, 10:30am - 3pm: Bangor RFC, Cae Milltir, Llandegai, Bangor LL57 4AA
26th August 2018, 10:30am - 3pm: Clwb Rygbi Rhuthun, Y Pafiliwn, Lon Fawr, Rhuthun LL15 2AA
