Chinese translation:TRY
Explanation:
作者在讲自己儿时的记忆。 可能是说一帮半大小子没事儿凑成队伍玩橄榄球,技艺不精,玩不好瞎玩。like dogs touching the ball,肯定很笨拙。

不一定非要把dog touch译得很具体。

Explanation:
touch-rugby is a type of non-contact rugby played socially by mixed men's/women's teams...

can't tell if this is referring to a similar type of football...

'dog' could mean 'terrible'?

dog-touch??? - no idea what this means

=> could be North American idiom...
