SENIOR TOUCH 2017 ENTRY PACK

9/8/2017

Hi All,
Welcome to the 2017-18 Local Touch season.
Entries are now open online, and all information on our Module can be found in the Entry Information Pack (links below or found on Entries & Registrations page of this site).

Please note the following important messages, and be sure to read the Entry Pack thoroughly.

Competitions offered:
There are two Local Touch Senior competitions:

Tuesday night: Mixed, Men's, Women's
Thursday night: Mixed, Family Mixed

Venues:
Venues cannot be confirmed until the Council allocate all bookings. Sunnynook Park is closed this summer, so Local Touch have applied for Freyberg Park or Becroft Park for Tuesdays, and Becroft Park or McFetridge Park for Thursdays. Venues will be known by early September. We know this isn’t ideal, but could we ask teams to please be patient, and remain flexible when entering.

Dates:

Start Dates: Tuesday 24th and Thursday 26th October 2017
Semis and Finals: are played on the last two Tuesdays and Thursdays of the season (Tue 13th & 20th February 2018; Thu 15th & 22nd February 2018).

Please note the following entry information:

Fees will remain $550 per team this season. (Family Mixed fees are $150.00 per team)
A $200 per team deposit is due with entry.
Pay your full fees by 8 September, and get the early-bird fee of $500.
Entries are online. No verbal, emailed or hard copies accepted.
Fees must be direct credited (after you enter online, you will be taken to a payment page to complete your bank transfer). No cheques or cash accepted.
Please note teams will not be included on the draw until full payment is received.

JUNIOR TOUCH 2017 ENTRY PACK

4/8/2017

0 Comments

The following is the email just sent out to our school contacts.

Hi All,
After a 3 year absence, Angie Lee returns to the roll of Junior Administrator, and we say thanks to Andrea Landon for the past two seasons in the role. Andrea however will still be working with us in the background.

Please note the following important messages, and be sure to read the Entry Pack thoroughly.

Dates:
Due to a short Term 4, the season is starting earlier than usual, with games beginning in Week 1 of Term 4.
Start Dates: Monday 16th,Tuesday 17th and Thursday 19th October 2017
This means a shorter turn around time for getting entries in, as we need to get the draws out before the school holidays.
Provisional Entries Due: Friday 18th August 2017 (two weeks to get a notice out to children/parents, and work out approximate number of teams)
Confirmation of Entries & Team Details Due: Monday 18th September 2017

Venues:
Venues cannot be confirmed until the Council allocate all bookings. Sunnynook Park is closed this summer, so Local Touch have applied for Freyberg Park or Becroft Park for Mondays, Mairangi Bay Park for Tuesdays, and Becroft Park or McFetridge Park for Thursdays. Venues will be known by early September. We know this isn’t ideal, but could we ask schools to please be patient and flexible when entering teams. Also please be aware that our Monday venue will be smaller than Sunnynook, therefore we may have rounds that start later than in previous seasons.

Players To Play In Only One Team:
Players must choose to play either boys/girls, or mixed. This has always been in our Rules & Regulations. We have a large number of teams and our draw is usually at capacity, therefore adjusting draws to cater for children in more than one team unfortunately cannot be achieved.

Non-School/Composite teams:
Please note there are new guidelines in place for entering composite teams. These can be found in the Rules & Regulations section of this Entry Pack.

Tournament:
As we didn't get enough entries to our Tournament in Term One, we suggested we shifted the date to Wednesday 15th November (in Term Four).

[The email sent, included a survey for Persons in Charge of Touch to respond to. They've been asked to indicate if their school is interested in having a one day tournament in Term Four.]
