Frequently Asked Questions

When do registrations close?

The scheduled close date for registrations is SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3, but please note the following:

  1. In previous seasons when demand has been high, we have been forced to close off registrations earlier than expected for some divisions.
  2. Lead times are needed for ordering singlets (Minimum 4 weeks). Leaving registration too late may mean your singlet is not available for the first few rounds.

How many players per team? NEW REQUIREMENT FOR 2023

ALL divisions require a minimum of 8 registered players to commence competition.

Teams with <8 registered players at registration close date (September 3) will be removed from the competition. If you cannot meet this minimum requirement please email the club (info@hillshornetstouch.com) for assistance with finding players.

The number of subs is always a bit of a balancing act. Too many subs can mean players don’t get long enough on the field, too few and players get too tired and lose enjoyment. Aiming for 3-4 subs per game is usually a good rule of thumb.

My friend(s) and I don't have a team but want to play together. Can you ensure we end up in the same team?

Absolutely.  Once registered, send an email to info@hillshornetstouch.com with their names requesting same team placement.

If 4 or more players wanting to play together, we recommend registering a team and then contacting the club to request additional players be added.

I've never played touch football before, can you cater for beginners?

Absolutely.  At Hills Hornets Touch we welcome everybody. Register yourself, and we will find you a team that can accommodate your experience and skill level.
You can also check out our Basics of touch page for an introduction on how the game is played. There are also some highlight videos you can watch on Hornets TV.

What do we wear?

Playing singlets are included in the cost of registration. These will be reversible, with a predominantly blue side and a predominantly white side. The draw will indicate which colour your team should be showing week to week.

Players are to wear their preferred shorts or bike pants – whatever is comfortable.

Touch or other grass sports shoes with plastic or rubber mouldings are recommended.

What time are games played?

Although dependent on team registrations, senior competition will generally commence from 6:30pm. Final timeslot is 9:00pm.

I want to register a team, but I'm a few players short. Can you help?

Absolutely.  Send an email to info@hillshornetstouch.com with your team name once registered and the number of additional players you would like.  We will allocate players from our individual player registration pool.

  • $22 TFA National membership & insurance (deducted from total if already paid)
