It is with pleasure that the Federation of International Touch (FIT) announces the appointment of Erick Acker (France) as FIT President through until AGM 2015, as well as the appointment of two new FIT Board Directors: Mel Mallam from Switzerland (legal and international sport expertise) and Angela Calder from Australia (sport development and international sport expertise).

The Federation of International Touch (FIT) would like to extend its warmest seasons greetings to all across the globe. May this festive season be all that you deserve - filled with fun, laughter, and precious family memories.

A recent focus for FIT is a greater emphasis on global technical development, and during 2012 the FIT Coaching Commission was established to meet the "coaching" need. Mr Peter McNeven was appointed as Chair of that Commission.

Whilst many associations seem to have wound down somewhat over the festive season, England Touch are gearing up for a massive year ahead in 2013.

England Touch are proud to announce their 2nd annual National Touch Tournament. This is a 2 day tournament where regional sides will compete for the national title, whilst forming the basis for player development and pathway leading to National Squad selection.
