CANCELLATIONS

We play rain, hail or shine! Touch will very rarely be cancelled. There will have to be severe weather conditions for us to consider cancelling. We keep an eye out on the rain radar rather than making a call when it is raining. 

In the rare event we do have to cancel touch we shall update the draw to reflect cancelled games along with updating our Facebook page and sending an email out.​​​​​​​

The call on cancellations will be made on the day around 4pm.

Come along and be part of our Senior Touch Module, plenty of parking, amazing facilities and fun for all!​​​​​​​

DEFAULTS 

Please notify Jess at juniorsport@collegerifles.co.nz of any team defaults by 6pm the night before. This ensures enough time to let the opposition know. 

SENIOR TOUCH RULES

Team uniform is compulsory this year. If your team is not wearing matching uniform, they must be wearing a similar coloured top. The club can supply bibs upon request.

The latest NZTA Edition playing rules of Touch Football will apply. 

All protests must be received by the referee before the start of a game.

Rough or foul play including abuse of referees will not be tolerated. An automatic two week stand down will be put in place for any player who is sent off the field. This does not include player who are sin binned but players who are removed from the entire match.

Module management reserve the right to remove any team from the competition if compliance with the above rules is not adhered to.

WANT TO REFEREE?

Touch NZ Foundation Referee Course

The Touch NZ Foundation Referee Course is the entry point into the referee pathway – ideal if you are just starting out as a referee with little or no experience. You may be a supportive parent, a player looking to improve your knowledge, or a new referee looking to support your local module. 

In this course, you’ll learn about all the fundamental skills and processes used when refereeing touch including the new FIT 5th Edition Playing Rules, recently adopted by Touch NZ. It is broken into ten e-learning topics and should take approx. 2 ½ hours to complete. There are videos and interactive elements included along the way, and checkpoints to test your knowledge and comprehension. You don’t have to complete it all at once. Work through it at your own pace. Remember, you aren’t expected to be an expert after finishing this course. That will come with time and experience.
