Profile
Jacksonville Touch Rugby, also known as the Jacksonville Juggernauts, hopes to share the wonderful sport of Touch Rugby with Jacksonville. Touch Rugby is a minimal-contact sport, similar to ultimate Frisbee or Flag Football. Though Touch is born from rugby, the sport replaces tackles with one-hand touches, as in the child game of Tag. It’s a social sport 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 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 even includes the 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 for the past few years. The USA National Team, which plays every four 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 Thursday night at 7 pm at Greenland Park (11808 Fayal Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32258) and Sunday 3 pm at Alexandria Oaks (1620 Marco Pl, Jacksonville, FL 32207)
This isn’t a formal club, so come with an open mind and a good attitude. Feel free to invite friends.
