Why touch
A proper game, a proper sweat, and nobody gets tackled.
Non-contact
You stop the ball carrier with a touch, not a tackle. The running and the teamwork stay. The big collisions don't.
Mixed
Women and men play together. First-timers line up with people who have been playing for years.
Six-a-side
Small teams, lots of time on the ball, and a game you can follow on day one.
Just turn up
No experience and no special kit. Sports clothes, trainers or boots without metal studs, and some water.
The Hamburg Flamingos, at training and at play.
