Please ask any questions in the school week prior to this.
Games will be played on Mondays from 3:30pm over six consecutive weeks. We encourage girls and boys to play. This game is played in a safe manner for all students to enjoy. At these grades the focus is on fundamentals, participation and fun.
Due to refurbishments to the artificial turf at Alex Moore Park, the competition will be played on the top grass field at Alex Moore Park.
Dates: 4 November to 9 December 2024.
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
These are played 5-a-side. For mixed grades, 2 girls minimum are to be on the field at all times.
We need a coach/manager per team: Each team will need to have a coach/manager to successfully register. If you are interested in volunteering for this please indicate this on the response form. We welcome new faces; you do not need to be an expert on touch rugby. Some teams may choose to have a practice session once a week but this is up to the coach’s discretion.
A compulsory Managers' Meeting and Coaching Course will be held at 5:30pm on 29 October at a TBC venue.
Getting to and from the game: Parents or caregivers are responsible for getting their child to and from the games.
Cost: The fee for 2024 will be confirmed as soon as teams are finalised. The invoice for the fee will be added to your child’s account in the school shop, and will need to be paid prior to the first game.
Uniforms: All students will need to have an Amesbury school sports top. Footwear: these can be sneakers or rugby boots with plastic sprigs/studs (NO metal sprigs).
NOTE: These tops are a smaller 'sports fit' than the uniform polo tops (approx. one to half a size smaller). If your child does not have a sports top, it can be ordered via the school shop. You are more than welcome to come in and have your child try one on if you are unsure of sizing.
