If your child is an individual with no team please read below:

WE HAVE A NEW SYSTEM IN PLACE. WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP “NEWCASTLE JUNIOR OZTAG INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS” AND PUT A POST IN THE GROUP WITH YOUR CHILDS AGE DIVISION THAT THEY WILL BE PLAYING IN.

ALL TEAM ORGANISERS WILL BE IN THIS GROUP – IF THEY NEED PLAYERS THEY WILL CONTACT YOU DIRECTLY AND GIVE YOU A CODE TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD DIRECTLY INTO THEIR TEAM.

WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE BE PATIENT AND ONLY POST ONE POST. YOU ARE WELCOME TO COMMENT ON POSTS MADE IF TEAMS ARE LOOKING FOR PLAYERS. IF YOUR CHILD HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A TEAM PLEASE CONTACT RHIANNON – 0401279544 AND I WILL ASK THE TEAMS DIRECTLY IF THEY NEED A PLAYER.

Discount for families registering 4 or more children will apply.

Please contact Rhiannon on 0401279544 to discuss.

We have no problem with making sure friends are placed together into the same team as long as they are eligible to play in the same division. This may be hard though if there are more than 2 friends as most teams are only looking for 1-2 extra players.

If however, your child’s friend has played for a few years and is already in a set team,then you would need to speak to the Team organiser of that team to see if there is room for your child to play. Your child’s friend will have this information.

No training days are scheduled. It is up to individual teams to arrange their own training days if they choose to do so. The majority of teams, do not train at all.

Every child needs to have Official Oztag Shorts/Tights to play ( Shorts $35.00- Tights $30.00). Available at the Office on scheduled days that are sent to team organisers.

All players must wear same coloured numbered shirts ( team organiser to advise).

• No metal or screw in stud type shoes allowed.
• Touch football or soccer boots recommended.
• Sandshoes are allowed but not recommended due to players not having a good grip.

They are our Team Contact. Organisers are not coaches.

They may help the team by substituting players during the game & usually at the beginning organise shirt colour and team shirts for them. Some teams put too much pressure on the delegate believing they are there to coach the team.

Remember they have kindly put their hand up and given up some time to be our point of contact to make life a little easier for the players/parents. Offer them assistance.

Being a recreational sport, We do not have coaches, We ask for parents to help by being a delegate of the team and in many cases, the team organisers of teams are Mums/Dads. Coaches are provided at State Cup level.

Some mums and dads, like to go on the field to help the younger ones. We allow 1 person from each team on the field to help guide the children but only for the 6’s and 8’s. Parents do not need to be on the field so don’t worry if the other team has someone on guiding their children, some teams may not need the extra help.

The referee is there to control the game and will help guide the younger ones.

You must ring and advise your team contact. Do not contact any staff as they wont be able to pass on the information due to the amount of calls and other responsibilities they have to look after.

If the team is already organised and the players are happy to have a female play, we will allow it. A declaration will need to be signed by the parents stating that they are aware there daughter is playing in a Boys division & we will need to approve this prior to placing a female into a Boys division.

We have a number of children that may play together in a Winter Sport and wish to stick together in the off season by playing Oztag. You may find that some teams have their Winter Sports Coach staying with them in the off season. Many Junior Rugby league coaches like to use Oztag as a training tool and it’s a good way to keep their team together.

U/8 and U/6 are played on a mod field with 6 players on the field.

All other age groups are normal size field with 8 players on the field.
