What is tap ball in touch footy?

Tap ball in touch footy refers to a method of restarting play after a touch has been made on a player carrying the ball. The player who is touched must perform a quick tap of the ball on the ground, usually with their foot, to signal the continuation of play. This allows the attacking team to maintain momentum and quickly transition back into their offensive strategy. The tap must be executed from the spot of the touch, and defenders must retreat a designated distance before the play resumes.
