Kids Touch Football Bardon

Yes, absolutely! Register for your child's age range and we will put them in a team.

Most regions will have the following divisions. Please check your preferred competition page for confirmation. It is important to note that divisions may change pending final registration numbers. 

• Under 8s (children born 2020, 2019 and 2018 inclusive) 
• Under 10s (children born 2017 & 2016 inclusive)
• Under 12s (children born 2015 & 2014 inclusive) 
• Under 14s (children born 2013 & 2012 inclusive)

Note: if you are unsure which division to register for, please contact your Club Manager. 

It is an eight (8) week season. Round one (1) will be a practice round (or skills and drills for Under 8s), followed by round games and finals. If teams do not make the finals, there will be wildcard games. All teams will play eight (8) games. 

All timeslots will be 40 minutes. The exact start and finish time will be released once we know how many teams are going to be participating, and once the draw has been constructed. Please check your Club page for more details.

A team must have a minimum of 8 players. If your team does not have 8 players, TRL will add individuals to meet the minimum number. A team should have no more than 10 players to maintain game enjoyment.

Before the season commences, and once we have received all registrations, we will be in touch with your child’s team details.

Yes. All competitions will be open competitions (meaning boys and girls will play side by side - there will be no separate boys and girls divisions this season).

The best way to ensure they’re together is to register as a team. However, if you do not have enough players, please register as an individual, and email us with your request. We will do our best to ensure they are placed in the same team.

We encourage parents to take an active role in helping us organise the children each week. We will provide a referee/coach on each game but we ask that for every under 8s game, there is a team manager (must be a parent) to ensure all children get a go and provide general direction. 

For all age groups, parents will need to help monitor and manage subsitutions.

You can join anytime. Check your Club page for season dates and chat to your Club Manager if the season has started. TRL Juniors runs in term time and does not run during school holidays unless otherwise advised.

You will receive a registration welcome email confirming what you have signed up for. Please read this email carefully. If you have received this email it means your child is able to participate in the season.

No, it is a social competition and they will learn from the TRL Juniors staff, and their peers, as the season progresses.

Yes, absolutely! If the kids are keen to come early or stay late to train, you can certainly organise that amongst yourselves. We suggest exchanging details with other parents via WhatsApp or similar platforms to stay in touch.

In the event of wet weather, the season will be extended or double rounds will be played.

Due to the nature of the scheduled season, we are unable to apply session credits or refunds for a missed week.
