Online Registration System

Touch NZ uses a national online registration service provided by Sportsground on the Sporty.co.nz platform.

Module organisers, team managers and players can easily update details through the online registration system from Sporty.co.nz. When teams and players are registered online, details automatically become available to Touch NZ, meeting our reporting and compliance requirements.

Online registrations are designed to reduce the workload on touch organisers, while also improving the accuracy of information provided to Touch NZ. This process allows touch organisers, teams and players to avoid completing paper forms and manual spreadsheets.

The online registration solution is available to all Touch competitions that are affiliated with Touch NZ.
