Sportscover's desire to assist community sports led to the creation of the Sportscover Sponsorship Fund (SSF) as an avenue to sponsor a wide variety of amateur sports men and women, striving to achieve sporting greatness across a broad cross-section of sports. Touch Deutschland was one such lucky recipient, and will receive US$750 (or local equivalent).

Scottish Touch is leading the way in Europe in coach education. The STA has just delivered Europe's first 'home-grown' FIT-accredited coaching course, with 10 coaches from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Stirling receiving their Level One qualifications last weekend (June 23 and 24).

The STA has announced that the 2012 Scottish National Championships will be held at Falkirk Rugby Club on 4 August. Regional squads from across Scotland will battle each other for the national title.

Touch Deutschland is proud to announce their new logo, marking a new beginning for Touch in Germany.

The European Referee Panel is proud to formally announce the launch of the Lucas Von Hoff Award. The award recognises exceptional contribution made to the development of Touch referees in Europe. It will be presented for the first time at the 2012 European Championships and bi-annually thereafter (at subsequent Euros).
