The new sport of Terrapila was created by Wilfie and Barney from the UK in May 2025. Terrapila is a mix of touch rugby, Aussie rules and soccer. The sport is perfect for fans of any of those sports. Players require speed, skill and a tactical mindset.

Equipment: 1 soccer pitch, but with D’s instead of boxes, 1 rugby ball, 14 players - 6 outfield players, and 1 keeper for each team.

Scoring - To score 2 points, score a goal, (A kick out of hand). Shots must be from outside the D. To score 1 point, score a try, which is where you touch the ball down inside the D. Only the goalkeeper and the ball-carrier are aloud in the D, (It is the same for both D’s, and the goalkeeper’s only aloud in their own D.

Touches - There are no knock-ons or forward passes. You may pull the player who has the ball towards you, but if you do, a different player has to touch the ball-carrier, and as soon as the ball-carrier lets go of the ball, you have to let go of them or it will be a free kick. Two-handed touches only. Max touches: 5. When a free kick is awarded, the touch count goes down to 0.

Sidelines/ Backlines/ Corners/ Free Kicks - Sidelines are awarded when the ball goes off the side of the pitch. To take a sideline, take a kick from hand from where it went out. Everyone must be 5 yards from the sideline taker. Backline are awarded when the attacking team hits the ball off the defending team’s backline. The defending team’s goalkeeper takes a kick from hand. Corners are awarded when the defending team kicks it off their own backline. The attacking team takes a kick from hand, or runs with it, from the corner. Free Kicks are awarded for pulling off the ball, taking to long after touches, or holding onto the ball after a try or goal.
