A group of former players missed the pitch, the teamwork, and the club nights. Since then, that small group has grown into a colorful collection of enthusiasts. Every Friday, a lively mix of men and women, young and not-so-young, experienced players, and curious newcomers are ready to see out the week with a rugby ball.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Usually, there are enough of us to form two full teams and play a great match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rcwageningen.nl\/here\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/IMG-20250119-WA0007-1024&#215;768.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;IMG-20250119-WA0007&#8243; force_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Does this sound like something for you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the answer to any of these questions is &#8216;yes&#8217;, you probably already belong:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Did you start liking rugby, but only realized it a bit later in life?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do you already play rugby and simply crave more?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Do you love the game but no longer need the physical intensity?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Are you dealing with an injury but still want to keep playing in a responsible way?<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Then Friday Night Touch is waiting for you. We play without contact and with simple rules, making it easy for anyone to join in. Doors open every Friday at 7:30 PM. After a quick coffee to start, we head onto the pitch at 8:00 PM for an energetic hour. And yes, the third half always follows in the clubhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every first Friday of the month, we organize the FNT Academy. There, we dive into basic skills, rules, and smart tactics so you can join in quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since 2025, we have been playing according to T1 rules. These are a perfect fit for our group: they feel familiar to those who know rugby union, and the rules are surprisingly easy to pick up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We regularly play friendly matches against clubs from the region or take part in national tournaments.
