Touch-line

From Encyclopedia Jr, free information reference for Kids

The touch-line is the line on either side of the playing area of a game of Rugby Football and of the game of Association Football (soccer). In many other sports it is called a side-line.

The continuation of the touch-line beyond the goal-line ending at the dead ball line is called the "touch-in-goal line".

In Rugby Union the two touch-lines may not be more than 70m apart and they are not part of the playing area. (Law 1)

  • The area beyond the touch-line is touch.
  • The officials who monitor the touch-lines are the Touch judges
