Come join us for our 40 year reunion in early 2024. Information will be posted on our website and our Facebook reunion page.
Module rules
1. All players must be registered in each team that they play.
2. All players must be in uniform. The minimum is same coloured tops. There is no requirement for team name or numbers on uniforms. This is to save costs. In the mixed grades, some teams have a different uniform for male and female players. This is acceptable. Some teams may have a variation in uniforms (ie old and new tops). This is also permitted as long as the colours are the same. Same colour means, same colour. Longs are not permitted although the module committee may allow exceptions for track pants or leggings. No jeans or trousers.
3. No bare feet. Correct footwear must be worn. No steel sprigs on boots and no jandals.
4. No jewellery may be worn during any game. Wedding rings should be taped. This rule if for safety reasons.
5. No player can play for more than one team in any grade. Players caught playing in more than one team will result in the team that he or she is playing in being defaulted.
6. No aggressive unsportsmanship behaviour will be tolerated. The module committee reserves the right to exclude any player or team from the competition for rough, aggressive or unsportsmanship behaviour. Complaints against any player or official should be made to the referee or the module co-ordinator. Any decision as to whether a player or team should be excluded must be made by the module committee after hearing from the referee (where applicable), the player or team concerned and any representative from the player's team or club.
7. All teams must provide a correctly inflated touch ball for their game. The module does not supply touch balls.
8. All under 10s grades must supply their own referees for their own games. The only exception is in the semi and finals where referees will be provided. All other games are controlled by module referees or voluntary referees. Referees decisions are final and no protest against any referring decision will be accepted.
9. Team captains must check the score cards BEFORE they sign it. Once the cards are signed then the points on that card will be the official record of the scores in that game. The score will only be changed if both teams accept that the score has been recorded incorrectly.
10. Only the team captain may question a referee about any call during a game. No other player may approach the referee during a game.
11. No team will be permitted to play or to continue playing a game if fees remain outstanding. Fees must be paid in full before a team plays its first game.
12. No player is permitted onto the field if he or she is out of uniform. There may be a grace period for teams to get their players in uniform but this is to be no more than two weeks after the first game of the season.
13. Module rules may be changed from time to time by the module committee BUT teams will be notified of any planned changes before any changes are made.
Any questions should be directed to Poi who is the module co-ordinator. Email - touch@shirkhan.co.nz or text 021 2614934.
