How to Register for NX Touch

Firstly, you need to read this info sheet very carefully & have it with you when registering on the Google Form. The Google form can be found on the Daily Notices. When you register it has to be done with your (student) NX gmail account. 

You will then need to attend as many trials as possible to be seen. We understand you have other commitments, but the more we see you, the easier it is for us to place you in a team!

You have only one option when it comes to Northcross Touch 2025:

  1. Competitive-You can trial for a team and we put you in a team according to your ability level, NOT whether you are Year 7 or Year 8. 

Competitive Teams 

You will need to attend trials. You will then be put into a team according to your ability (so might be Y7 and Y8’s in the team) and your team will be appointed a coach (if we have enough coaches for the amount of players trialing).

 Please also note that if you do not make our Boys/Girls A Teams,  as we are not entering a Mixed A team into the Weekly Competition, the Mixed A Team for the North Harbour Champs Zone Day  will be selected from our Boys B and our Girls B.  There will be a separate trial for this team as well as observations of the first two rounds of the Weekly Comp. 

Once you have decided if you are playing then it is simply a case of registering via the Google Form (see link button below) Payment is made via the Online Shop. You will have to Register before you pay!

Touch Registration

Key Dates/Deadlines

  • Key Dates/Deadlines

    • Once registered, payment to be made via Online Shop by Friday 12th September. 

    Please note:

  • If your child has not registered and not paid then they will not be considered for selection.

  • This is to eliminate people pulling out after selections and teams are named, which has been an issue.

  • No refunds without a legitimate reason. 

Any questions, please see Mr. Shane Vallender (Room 16)

Coaches, managers & umpires

Each Touch team will need a coach and manager. If we cannot get enough coaches we will have to reduce the number of teams and unfortunately some children may miss out on playing. If you are interested in being a coach or manager for Touch, please indicate this on registration.

All coaches and managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email the Sport Department and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.

Sports class 2026

If you are a Y7 & interested in applying for the Sports Class in 2026, you & your parent/s are invited to an information evening on Wednesday 10th September in the PAC at 6pm. This is your chance to find out how the Sports Class works & ask all those questions!
