League Details

 

How Does It Work?

As with all of ZogSports' leagues, Touch Rugby is co-ed. It's 6 on 6, but a team is allowed to play with 4 to reduce forfeits. It's no contact, 2-hand touch rugby. When you have 6 on the field, you must have at least 2 women. (If you have only 4 players, at least 1 must be a woman). 

What's the Cost and What's Included?

Early/regular registration will open July 26th and close August 5th/August 20th or earlier if the league sells out. League fees are $1000/$1100 for a team of 10-12 players ($35 for each additional player over 12 - no limit to number of players on your roster) and $105/115 for individuals (we'll get everyone on a team). ZogSports donates a percentage of our profit to charity.

Fee includes:

  • 7 regular season games and 1 scrimmage
  • A heart-wrenching single elimination playoff tournament (50% of teams qualify)
  • Field fees
  • ZogSports referee
  • One t-shirt per person on the roster
  • Equipment
  • "Prize Money" from our sponsors donated to the winning team's charity of choice
  • League administration
  • Organized Happy Hours at local bars after the game

When Does It Start and When Are the Games?
  • We play Sundays.
  • Games will be played between 12-6pm.
  • Scrimmages will be played September 12th.
  • Regular Season games begin September 19th.

Where Are We Playing?

All games will be in great locations including:

  • Randall's Island (Fields 50, 51, 90, 91)
  • Roosevelt Island (Firefighters Field)

Please note that game times, location and dates mentioned above are a very good guideline, but may change slightly.

What Are the Rules?

This is a fun recreational league. So we want everyone to play, stay involved and stay safe. The key rules are:

  • 6 on 6, 4 men and 2 women (minimum). Teams may play as many as 6 women at a time.
  • Each match consists of two 20-minutes halves with a 3-5 minute halftime.
  • 6 two-hand touches per possession.
  • Non-contact (No Blocking) keeps it fun for everyone.
  • For full set of rules see link at top of page. 

Level of Play
  • Casual Division - Played before? Not a bad athlete? This is the happy middle ground.

ZogSports will try to accommodate all team and individual player requests for Level of Play, but cannot guarantee all requests. We will not place a team or player more than 1 level of play (above or below) their original request.
