MTWA was aware that the move to Thursday afternoon for the under 7s and under 9s competition was potentially going to cause issues for some teams. We are now also aware of the potential clashes with summer soccer and other sports after many discussions with concerned team contacts. We have come up with some changes that may help some teams be able to play both touch football and soccer. We are able to place those teams whose players are affected by summer soccer games at the 4:10pm time slot for their touch football game. These games would finish at 4:42pm. Our understanding is that summer soccer games begin from 5:40pm. This should hopefully give people enough time to get to their summer soccer game.
If you are affected by the above potential summer soccer clash and would like to have your under 7 or under 9 game played at the 4:10pm time slot, please send an email to Lara via [email protected].
If the above solution doesn’t work for you and you feel that your team just can’t play this season, we are more than happy to provide a full team registration refund. We ask that you send an email to Lara via [email protected] to inform us of that decision.
MWTA would like to acknowledge the overwhelming support we have had to this structural change of our Junior Summer Competition moving to 2 afternoons. We are continuing to work hard behind the scenes to get these competitions up and running. Updates will be provided as we work towards kicking off our Junior Competition in the coming weeks. We look forward to seeing everyone back playing touch football soon.
