The age groups are 8-9 years old, 10-11 years old, 12-13 years old and 14-16 years old. So the youngest player should be 8 years old. Also note they must play in the age bracket they are turning this year. ie. 8, 9 this year to play in the 8-9s, 12 or 13 to play in the 12-13s etc. You can form a team in the 8-9s age group consiting of any mix of 8 or 9 year olds. Any person found to be playing over aged, their team will forfeit all points for the season.

Q. What are the rules?

A. 

The rules are very similar to Rugby League but with the tackles being replaced with touches.

The aim of touch football is to score tries by not getting touched by the opposition's team within 6 attempts, and placing the ball down in the try zone to accumulate points. The team finishing with the higher point score is determined the winner.

Each team can have up to 12 players (we recommend 10), with a maximum of six on the field at any time. Each team has unlimited substitutions. The game lasts 45 minutes, divided into two - 20 minutes halves and a five minute half-time break.
