Rule Book
Melbourne touch6s rules are same as Touch Football Australia 8th Edition Rules.
There is no compulsion for any TFA Affiliate or authorised competition provider to adopt these Rules at their local or park level competitions. TFA encourages our member organisations to set varying features in the rules of their local competitions so that the player can experience a wide variety of enjoyment from the game. These Rules in no way restrict any TFA Affiliate or authorised competition provider from having different match conditions to these Rules. Any adaptation of or alterations to the Rules for local competitions should be clearly articulated in relevant competition guidelines and be readily available for players, coaches and referees alike.
These Rules are the official TFA Rules and will be referenced throughout TFA Coach and Referee Education and applied by TFA when conducting events.
Field of Play
Touch Football Ball
The Steeden NRL Classic Touch Match Ball is the official ball of Melbourne Touch6s, and for good reason. It's a high-performance ball designed specifically for the fast-paced, dynamic game of Touch Football.
Raised grip system: The ball features a unique raised grip pattern that provides superior handling in all weather conditions, whether it's dry, wet, or even sandy. This allows players to confidently grip the ball for throws, passes, and catches, maximizing control and reducing fumbles.
Elite match grade rubber compound: The ball is made from a high-quality rubber compound that's not only grippy but also durable. It can withstand the rigors of intense Touch6s games without losing its shape or grip.
