  • Within each team all players MUST wear the same colour t-shirt when playing. Teams do not have to have exact matching tops and there is no requirement for teams to have numbers on their shirts.

  • Should 2 teams clash with colours, bibs will be provided for the nominated ‘away’ team to wear.

  • Shoes MUST be worn at all times by both players and referees.

  • No jewellery or watches may be worn.

Official Results

All official results up to the previous week will be available on the Club Website – www.parklandsunited.co.nz/touch.

Please note that results are not captured for the Year 0-2 or Year 3-4 age groups.

Team makeups

For all mixed grades (year 5+) a minimum of 2 girls must be on the field at all times!! In the Year 0-2 and Year 3-4 grades there is no required make up of the teams.

In the Year 5-6 and Year 7-8 grades, there is the option to sign up for an all boys grade. Depending on entry numbers there may be some crossover games with the mixed teams.

Points scoring

All tries scored are worth 1 point. If a minimum of 2 girls are on the pitch and a girl scores a try, this will be worth double points.

Game length

All games are 14 minute halves. The siren will be sounded for the start of the game, at halftime and the end of the game.

Please note that the siren will not be sounded to indicate the start of the 2nd half of your game. Teams are to have a 1 or 2-minute break and then begin the 2nd half themselves under the referee’s command. 

Referees

Parklands United Sports Club will not supply referees for this module and ask that each team provides a coach or adult to referee half the game each. Our focus is on enabling participation and so we have kept the costs of this module low so as to enable this to be able to occur.

In particular the year 0-4 age groups it is about participation and having a go learning the sport. Some rules may be made flexible in these age groups.

Clubrooms

The Clubrooms will be open every Friday night from 5pm for teams to socialise. We encourage you to join your team members in the clubrooms after the game.  The lolly and drinks counter will be open and hot food will also be available to purchase.

Cancellations & Defaults

A decision will be made by 2.00 pm on the Friday and your Team Manager will receive a text/email to advise the decision. This will also be on the website and club Facebook Page. 

Please do not assume that touch will be cancelled. 

Please try and make sure only the coaches/managers contact the competition administrator. This is just for practical reasons.
