The Shanghai Touch Association (STA) is a non-profit organization, whose main task is to introduce and spread the game of Touch Rugby throughout China. It strives to create a diverse and fun sporting culture by working to train and develop players of all ages and backgrounds.
STA runs four pick-up games and training sessions a week across Shanghai. To meet the demand for on-going competition we introduced a monthly Shanghai Touch League (STL) in 2012. Shanghai also participates in many national and international competitions throughout the year by send our touring team the Shanghai Dragons. The Asian League tournaments are played in Thailand, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Macau, Hong Kong Taipei and the Philippines. Shanghai has hosted its own annual Asian League event in the first weekend of November, the Shanghai International Touch Tournament (SITT), which is now the largest of all the tournaments in Asia.
