BACKGROUND
The idea for our Touch module came from our Elite athletes wanting to reinvigorate Touch in the Tauranga area and create a competitive but fun environment.

Our 3 key objectives are:

Develop a consistent high level competition for our elite athletes and referees
Create a fun social section to attract new players and promote the game
Have a one stop shop to select players for:
- - Tauranga’s ETL Team
- - Tauranga Moana Maori National Teams,
- - Tga Elite and Development teams for the Whakatane January Tournament, - and representative teams for BOP Touch trials.
