2025 Details

The cost to play touch is $24 (based on 10 players). The competition commences on 13th February (Term 1 Week 3) and is played every Thursday throughout Term 1 until 3rd April. Games will be played at the Kensington Oval, Princess Street, Dunedin.Parents will be responsible for transporting their child/ren to and from the games as well as supervising them at the ground.In order to enter teams in the competition, we will require at least 2 parents/caregivers to take responsibility for managing and coaching the teams (this may include refereeing games). Grades will depend on the number of children willing to play. If there are not enough coaches then teams will be selected by me to fit the number of coaches available.
