Touch Rugby
These are the team lists for touch rugby for next term. If for some reason, your child is not going to play, please let Mrs Brien know asap otherwise these teams will stay as they are. Hard copies of the team lists and notice went home to each family on Tuesday.

Commitment

When you sign up to play a team sport, you are committed to that team to play each week unless you let the coach know prior. When you do not turn up for your game or you arrive late, you are letting your team down so please ensure you arrive on time.  Last term there were instances where one team could not start a game due to players not advising their coach they were not playing or running late.  A team contact list will be sent home next term to ensure everyone is contactable.  If your child needs a ride to the grounds, please contact someone on your list.

This year the touch season commenced in term 1 and continues in term 4 so teams are to remain the same for both terms 1 and 4.  There have been some players added and withdrawn from teams so I have altered some teams.

Your child has confirmed to me they would like to carry on next term or is a new player wanting to play touch for term 4.  The cost for new players for term 4 is $10.00 and this is to be paid by Tuesday 30^th October but if you have played in term 1, it will not cost anything as you have already paid. There has to be a minimum of 2 girls in each team.

Touch is played on Tuesday afternoons at Whitestone Contracting Stadium.  The first game of touch rugby is on Tuesday 23rd October (second Tuesday back in week 2).  Games are played at 3.45pm, 4.15pm, 4.45pm and 5.15pm.  Teams are made up of Year 1 – 3, year 4 – 6 and year 7 - 8 depending on availability of players and coaches.  The last day of touch for this season is Tuesday 4th December.

Coaches – We have two teams that require coaches.  Older brothers and sisters we would love for you to coach!! If you can co-coach with another parent or take turns turning up each week, please let Mrs Brien know if you can help. I have a set of basic rules which can be emailed or printed off for you.

Coaching Skills Session there will be a free coaching session for new coaches or coaches who want a refresher course held on Tuesday 16^th October at 4.00 pm at Whitestone Contracting Grounds.  They will go over the basic skills needed to play touch rugby.

This term, North Otago Touch is changing some aspects of the way Junior Touch is run.

1.    Duty schools.  A requirement of having teams play Touch is that schools will need to provide a small number of people (2-3) to be “on duty”.  This will be rotated around schools and means that each school will only be “on duty” once per term. 

                               

2. Learning the requirements of being on duty.  On Tuesday 16 October 5 – 5.15 pm (same day as “Coaching the Coaches” and straight after) there will be a quick run-through of what to do when on duty.  It would be great to have one parent from each team attend this.

If you have any questions please contact me via the school office or by email at sport@stjoseph.school.nz  Thanks Paula Brien, Sports CoOrdinator.
