What is Fours Touch Football?
If you've seen or heard of Fours Touch are you're stuck asking, what is Fours? Is it just like regular touch footy or is it something else? Well let me break it down for you.
⚡ The Short Answer
Fours Touch Football is a 4-a-side sport played on a scaled down Rugby field. It has been designed to take the best rules from Rugby league, Touch Football and other sports to make a fun highlight driven sport. With 4-a-side the barrier for entry is lower than ever before meaning you don't have to collect up to 12 people to get a team, teams can enter with as little as 6, so it's great for individuals or small groups.
It combines the speed and simplicity of touch footy with custom rules that create more attacking plays, highlight-worthy moments, and less time standing around waiting for the ball.
👥 Why Four Players?
Smaller teams mean:
-
Less people to recruit, so great for small groups or individuals
-
More game time
-
More locations available to us
You don’t need a full squad to have a good time—and that means more games in more locations, with smaller spaces needed to play.
🎯 Designed for Highlights
Fours is built for action. The field is tighter, the rules are tuned for speed, and kicking is allowed (yep—you read that right). Every game feels like it was made for the highlight reel.
Whether it’s a cheeky grubber, a long ball to the corner, or a no-look flick pass—Fours encourages creativity. You’ll see big plays in every game.
📏 The Rules (In a Nutshell)
-
Four players per side
-
Kicking is allowed (tactical kicks, grubbers, chips etc.)
-
Set restarts are simplified for faster play
-
Tries scored from kicks are worth extra
-
Shorter games, higher intensity
You can dive deeper into the full rulebook, but trust us—if you’ve played touch or Oztag before, you’ll pick it up in minutes.
