Event Sanctioning
REGISTER HERE

Waikato Touch Association welcomes the opportunity for Event Coordinators to apply for Event Sanctioning.

Touch NZ requests that events are sanctioned by the province to enable the ability for players/volunteers/coaches etc to remain within their set criteria to participate in any Touch NZ run event.

This process allows Waikato Touch to also review any possible conflicts or issues and can ensure that event coordinators are aware of and have met certain criteria.

Your sanctioned status will be published on the Waikato Touch website as soon as the application has been approved.

Once your event(s) have been sanctioned by Waikato Touch, you will then be sent the WTA Sanctioning Pack with vital information about guidelines to run your event.

  • Communication
