Kia ora parents and caregivers,
We are looking at entering the local primary school touch rugby competition for term 1.
Before we can put teams together, we need to get a gage on whether we have enough kids who are interested and from which year levels. Please read the information below and if your child is keen to give touch rugby a go, express your interest below. There's a very quick turn around in term 1, which means that entries will close at 5pm on SUNDAY 8TH OF FEBRUARY.
Key information:
· Season Dates: 18th of February to 25th of March (runs for approximately 6 weeks).
· Venue: Awakairangi Park (Tōtara Park).
· A parent or caregiver from the team will be required to manage the team.
· Trainings will be at the discretion of the team coach/manager.
· Games are played on Wednesdays from 4pm onwards.
· Cost: $30 per player - confirmation of teams and invoices with payment details will be emailed.
· Grades: Year 1/2 Open, Year 3/4 Boys, Year 3/4 Mixed, Year 5/6 Boys, Year 5/6 Mixed, Year 5/6 Girls.
Fees are due by next Friday 13th February. We had to do a lot of chasing up last year, so this term, we will be asking for payment (or an automatic payment plan) by next Friday. NO PAY, NO PLAY.
If you have multiple children who would like to play touch rugby, you will be asked if you would like to complete another response after submitting this form. Please follow the link to submit another form.
