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.

Thirty seven teams took to the Lancenigo Sports Complex, Treviso, Italy over the period 10th to 16th September 2012, to contest the Federation of International Touch's 8th European Touch Championships (ETC2012) - and after days of intense competition England have emerged to claim the title as overall European champions.
