Touch New Zealand is pleased to advise we have acquired the management rights of Sportsman Sanza Touch Modules, run in the Auckland region under the ‘Touch Rugby’ brand.

Founded by Graeme Wallace in 2012, ‘Touch Rugby’ operates over 20+ different Touch and Turbo Touch modules throughout the region.

“I am extremely happy to be handing the management of the Modules over to Touch NZ who are passionate about providing a quality Touch experience to the community” states Graeme 

Touch NZ CE Joe Sprangers said “this is a positive move that ensures the continuation and stability of these Touch modules in Tāmaki Makaurau. It also presents an exciting opportunity to directly provide increased value for Touchies at a grassroots level.  We are looking forward to joining forces with our Tamaki Makaurau members and stakeholders”

Touch New Zealand is working closely with Auckland Touch Association, Counties Manukau Touch Association and Touch North Harbour to ensure the modules continue to support the Provincial Associations under an agreed delivery model.

A smooth transition is planned and participants can be assured the same quality experience will continue.

More details to follow.
