Beresfield Touch Association

Location :

Beresfield Bandits are a NSW Touch Football Affiliate located in Beresfield/Tarro. We have had much success in recent years with our junior and senior representative teams with recent state cup victories from 2011, 2012, 2013 & 2014 with our Women's 20's and Women's 40's division. In 2016 we fielded our very first open men's team which made the Division 1 (championship) grand final in 2016.

Our social competitions provide a laid back winter and summer run competition that is suitable for players of all ability. Traditionally we run our mixed competition on a Wednesday night and Mens + 30's on a Thursday night through the summer.

For example, a girl born in 2006 can participate in Under 10’s & and girl born in 2002 can participate in Under 14’s. Teams will not be gender specific so mixed gender teams are encouraged. - An example of this is you are allowed to have an under 10’s team of boys with two girls turning 12 this year

  If you are concerned about a team that is majority 11 year olds participating in an under 14’s competition, we will be splitting each age division into grades so a younger group of under 14’s will participate in a lower grade. - Grading can be altered up until and including round 4

  PLAYERS: - Under 10’s = 5 players on the field + substitutions - Under 14’s = 6 players on the field + substitutions

  REGISTRATION PROCESS: Team delegates will need complete the online registration. Then each player must completethe player registration and join that team. This will also cover their insurances.

  INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS: If you are an individual looking for a team we can place you in a pool of others looking for a team and make a team out of this providing there is a volunteer to be the delegate of this team

  COMPETITION RULES: Games will be played under the 7th Edition NSW Touch Football Laws Scoring system - 3 points for a win - 2 points for a draw - 1 point for a loss - 0 points for a forfeit Points can be deducted for - Un-notified forfeits - Late payments - Playing in-eligible players

  FINALS: There will be 8 round games played during the competition with the final two rounds being semi finals & grand finals. - All teams will play semi finals and their own grand final with the only exception being a possible bye - An example is that if there are 8 teams in a division, top 4 and bottom 4 will play their own semi finals. From there, the winners will play each other and the losers will play each other in the grand final week.
