Touch Rugby

The all-female Hwa Chong Touch Rugby team is made up of dedicated players who all are driven towards self-improvement.

As a team sport, HC Trug empowers each individual by providing every team member with equal chances and opportunities to contribute to the team, where every member is important. Collectively, all of us work to continually improve our sporting abilities, moral character and academic performance. We strive to cultivate an encouraging culture and to never leave anybody behind.

Here is an example of a typical training session:

Before our coach Karen arrives, we warm up first. The next step is to learn new strategies or review existing ones. We also perform rigorous exercises that improve our fitness as we polish our fundamentals. In the latter stages of training, we compete against one another in games where we use the strategies we've learned to improve our gameplay. Next, in small teams, we play mini-matches against one another towards the end of the session to practise using the techniques we have learned and to improve team communication and cohesion. Finally, we typically have team meals following our training sessions where we create cherished experiences as a team.

Without a doubt, HC Trug is more than just a CCA; we are a close-knit family that supports one another through successes and failures, both on and off the field.

FAQs

Is Touch Rugby violent?

Touch Rugby doesn’t involve any tackling of any sort so there aren't major injuries like dislocations etc. However, we are expected to put our bodies on the line for the team, so expect a healthy amount of scratches!

 

Do I have to be from a sports background?

Absolutely not! We were all from very different CCAs in secondary school, and these included UGs, clubs etc. Fitness and skill are key in this sport (things that can be trained over time), so as long as you come for training consistently, you can definitely excel at the sport!
