What is track? The definition you’ll get on Google is “a sport which includes athletic contests established on the skills of running, jumping, and throwing.” And if you zoom in for specifics, you’ll find 19 contestable events on the national schools level consisting of the sprints, hurdles, distance running, steeple, racewalking, jumps, throws, and vault.

When one hears the word “rugby”, what comes to mind may be the physically tough and rough game that one often sees on American television. Although it has the word “rugby” in it and indeed is a game derived from rugby, Touch Rugby is a sport in which players do not tackle each other. Instead, defending players touch their opponents using their hands on any part of the body, clothing, or the ball.
