two-hand touch
Contact ends play
Two-hand touch is a version of American football where the ball carrier is "down" when an opponent touches them with both hands, rather than being tackled to the ground.
It's a safer alternative for casual play, common in schoolyards and parks: We're playing two-hand touch, no tackling.
Compare one-hand touch, which requires only a single hand.
