Referee at our module
Have you ever thought about giving refeering a go? We are on the lookout for new referees of all ages.
With Touch on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, there's plenty of opportunities to learn how to ref and earn a little extra pocket money.
Sound like a bit of you or someone you might know? Click the button below to register or flick an email through to touch@purc.co.nz if you'd like to know more.
Emergency Referees
Unfortunately the best laid plans don't always come to fruition. Thats why for the upcoming 2023/24 season we are creating a pool emergency referees.
These referees are our last resorts when our regulars unexpectedly become unavailable. We shall offer these referees a $50 bar tab every time they are called upon.
If you are interested in joining the emergency referee pool, please send an email through to touch@purc.co.nz
Uniforms are required for every team. This includes numbers on the back of your shirts.
The latest NZTA Edition playing rules of Touch Football will apply.
All protests must be received by the referee before the start of a game.
Rough or foul play including abuse of referees will not be tolerated. An automatic two week stand down will be put in place for any player who is sent off the field. This does not include player who are sin binned but players who are removed from the entire match.
Module management reserve the right to remove any team from the competition if compliance with the above rules is not adhered to.
NOTE: By completing the online registration you acknowledge adherence of the above rules.
We play rain, hail or shine! Touch will very rarely be cancelled. There will have to be severe weather conditions for us to consider cancelling. We keep an eye out on the rain radar rather than making a call when it is raining.
In the rare event we do have to cancel touch we shall update the draw to reflect cancelled games along with updating our Facebook page and sending an email out.
The call on cancellations will be made on the day around 4pm.
Contact Charles Gibson in the office for any queries.
