What is a Touch Module? 

A Touch Module is your community’s local hub for playing touch - a series of organised games or competitions (social, junior, senior or mixed) delivered regularly at club level. These grassroots level modules bring together players of all ages and abilities - from schoolchildren and beginners to longtime social players. 

How it works & who runs it 

Touch Modules are organised and managed by volunteers, parents, club members or community groups who sign up as “Module Organisers / Coordinators”. Once you affiliate your Module with Touch NZ and your local province, you get access to official support - including resources, coaching support, referee training, scorecards, player registration tools, Module packs and a free online management system for registrations, draws, results and communication.  

Each Module can run one or more competitions - for example, a junior module on Monday nights and adult mixed on Wednesdays count as separate competitions under affiliation.

Module Organisers - You’re the MVPs! 

Across Aotearoa, touch is played through hundreds of Touch Modules, each helping deliver opportunities to play, coach, volunteer, referee, and belong.  

By running a Module, you the heartbeat of the sport: building community, growing skills, developing players and keeping the spirit of touch alive in your neighbourhood. 

Thanks to you, everyone can hit the fields and enjoy touch all summer long.
