Next week Austouch (Years K-2) will have the opportunity to register on Monday, 8 September, at 5.30pm at the Parkes Leagues Club.
Cost for the juniors is $40 for child one and two, third child is $30, fourth child is $20 and fifth child is free.
The junior/intermediate comp will commence on 10 September.
Austouch will commence on 17 September. The senior comp will commence on 11 September.
The club has adopted a one night nomination for Austouch.
In the past we have held three Saturday nomination days.
This will no longer be the case and parents and managers are urged to attend the Austouch Nomination and Information evening held on Monday, September 8, at 5.30pm to 7pm at the Parkes Leagues Club.
Competition starts Wednesday, 17 September.
On the following evening Tuesday, 9 September, Andrew Lees the Hornets Development officer will inform participants of their requirements in the program and conduct an Austouch leaders course.
This will start at 7pm and be finished by 9pm. Those that attended the course last year are not required to attend this year.
Once again this night will be the only chance to nominate teams for the Austouch competition and it is compulsory to attend with fully completed team sheets accompanied with total team payments.
Teams are reminded that fully completed nomination forms with addresses and dates of birth must be handed in to comply with NSW Touch football regulations.
The team manager must submit total money and nomination form together.
Please make every effort to form teams, as individual players will no longer be accepted.
The competition will continue to run throughout the October school holidays.
The association reminds teams that it is compulsory to play in team shirts with the appropriate numbering on the back and sleeve of the shirt.
Nomination forms will be available from all schools.
Also you can obtain nomination forms from Byrnes Clothing, BAKM Enterprises and Sportspower.
