Coed Touch • Jacksonville Rugby

Jacksonville Touch Rugby Club

Jacksonville Touch Rugby, also known as the Jacksonville Juggernauts, hope to share the wonderful sport of Touch Rugby to Jacksonville. Touch Rugby is a minimal contact sport, similar to ultimate Frisbee or Flag Football. Though, Touch is born from the sport of rugby, the sport replaces tackles with one-hand touches, as in the child game of Tag. It’s a social sport that is played all over the world, and one of the few team sports that can be played competitively in a Co-ed setting.

Touch Rugby is also a sport that is suitable for all age groups, as players can start as early as elementary school, and continue to play late into adulthood. The Touch Rugby World Cup this even includes a 50s and up division. Whether players play for recreation, socializing, fitness, or seeking competition, there is a place for everyone at Jacksonville Touch Rugby.

Though Touch Rugby is still a developing sport in Florida, there are teams in Orlando, Palm Coast, Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Ocala, and Gainesville. There is a huge potential for Touch players in Florida to grow, as the USA Touch Nationals has been held at the Orlando ESPN World of Sports the past few years. The USA National Team, which plays every 4 years at the Touch Rugby World Cup is selected at this event. It is our goal to foster a love of Touch in the city of Jacksonville.

We play at the Florida Blue Soccer fields off of Gate Parkway during the week and at Alexandria Oaks Park on the weekends. Check the schedule below for dates and times. Waivers are required, to play at Florida Blue so please message Andrew Herwit at acherwit@mac.com to get access to this field). Always check Facebook every Friday in case of any changes.

This isn’t any type of formal club, so just come out with an open mind and a good attitude. Feel free to invite friends.
