    Player and Team Registration

    Touch NZ is required to provide the annual Touch membership numbers to Sport NZ. This reporting directly effects government funding to the sport and your assistance is vital. Team and Player Information is required to be provided to Touch New Zealand by Monday 18th December 2023 via online registrations through Sporty. 

    This service provides Module operators with a full package of Online Management tools to run your Touch Module. Teams and Players will be able to register online and you will be able to track registrations, communicate with your players and accept season fees.

    Touch New Zealand will provide support free of charge and will work with you to set your competition up. Support will also be provided to your members on how to use the system. It can either be integrated into your existing website or a new website can be created.

    Handwritten teamsheets will not be accepted.

    Non-compliance in the the return of Player Information by Monday 18th December 2023 will result in your Touch module compromising their affiliate status with Touch NZ and your Provincial Association.
