Manly Touch would like to provide you with an update on the current COVID-19 situation as our local competitions kick off this week.
Under the current Public Health Order, there is no density limit to outdoor community sporting events. However, Manly Touch has a responsibility to our members to undertake a risk assessment and put in place a mitigation plan to limit the opportunity for transmission.
Manly Touch COVID-19 Guidelines
To ensure Manly Touch provides a Covid-19 safe environment please remember the following protocols:
Arrive Play Leave
We will again play our games under the Arrive Play Leave Protocol. Once your game is finished we ask that all players and spectators vacate the fields as soon as possible. Parents/ Guardians and Siblings can spectate.
Well Being of Member and Visitors
It is imperative that any participant and spectator who displays symptoms MUST NOT attend our local touch competitions or any associated training sessions. If you feel unwell, do not turn up to play touch.
Any person who is subject to an isolation order MUST not attend our local competitions or training sessions.
Physical Distancing
Capacity levels must not exceed 1 person per 2 square metres of space, avoid congestion especially around the clubhouse and ensure physical distancing of 1.5m where possible.
Hygiene
Please adopt good hand hygiene practices – use your own personal hand sanitiser before and after games. Hand sanitiser will be available at Nolan Reserve.
Record Keeping
All players, coaches, managers, referees, spectators must check-in at Nolan Reserve using our QR Code via the Service NSW App. QR codes can be found on all field flags, registration folder for each field and around the Clubhouse. If you are not carrying a phone, please visit the Ground Manager’s desk to sign in.
Thank you for your understanding and assistance in helping make Manly Touch a safe environment for all of us.
Please note a whilst we provide this information as being correct as of this date, with the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation, we acknowledged it is also subject to change at short notice.
If you have any questions please contact [email protected]
KeymasterAt our recent AGM, we farewelled one of our Vice President’s in Stuart Geros, who announced that he would be standing down from his position.
Manly Touch would like to thank Stuart for his valuable contribution over the years. Stuart was our Junior Rep Director from 2014-2018 and an Executive Committee Member from 2017 to 2021, holding down these two very important and time-consuming positions of the club at the one time Stu will be truly missed by everyone on the Executive, and we would not have been able to achieve the success this club has experienced in recent years without his valuable contribution. During Stu’s tenure we have seen enormous growth in our junior competition numbers, and one of the most significant measures was the introduction of Development teams for Junior State Cup, which has created a pathway for our talented athletes, and we have been JSC Club Champions every year it has been awarded.
However, in good news, we have not lost Stu entirely from Manly Touch as he will still remain on our Management Committee. Also some exciting news, we are pleased to advise that Stu was elected to the Touch Football Australia Board at their recent AGM. As Anita Hagarty, TFA Chair stated, Stu brings a “significant, and importantly, a diverse set of skills to the TFA” and he shares “a passion for the sport and a deep connection to the touch football community which we feel is important.” These sentiments are definitely echoed by Manly Touch. We would like to congratulate Stu on his appointment and wish him well working alongside the rest of the TFA Board and leading our sport into the future.
KeymasterManly Warringah Touch Association held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the 2020/21 reporting period last month, and despite another year of COVID-19 disruptions reported a small operating surplus to the membership of $1,070 for the financial year ended 31 March 2021.
This small surplus is a positive result for the Club and is appropriate for our local community-based sporting association and Not for Profit Organisation. However, during the 12-month financial period, our cash position actually increased by $71,187. This will enable us to uphold our commitment to give back to our members via investment in several programs, initiatives and capital expenditures that benefits all MWTA members in future years.
Manly Touch President Ian Kalms thanked all Manly Touch members, volunteers and stakeholders for their continued support, dedication, sacrifice, love and passion for Manly Touch and ability to deliver much needed touch football competitions to our local community and also represent this great club during a challenging and uncertain environment.
As previously advised Melinda Scranage and Elizabeth Forrest have stepped down from their roles as Treasurer and Secretary respectively, however at the AGM we also farewelled one of our Vice President’s in Stuart Geros, who announced that he would be standing down from his position. Manly Touch would like to thank Stuart for his valuable contribution over the years.
With the departure of Mel, Elizabeth and Stu, Sarah Peattie and Graham Knights were elected to the Executive Committee as Secretary and Vice President respectively. Kate Perrett also returns as one of our Vice Presidents. Unfortunately, the role of Treasurer remains vacant at this stage, however, in the interim, any finance-related matters should be directed to Ian Kalms, President who is acting as Treasurer.
At a follow up Executive Meeting held last month, and as per our MWTA Constitution the following Management Committee positions were appointed:
Senior Representative Directors – Kerrie Doyle & Lynda Robertson
Junior Representative Director – Craig Lowe
Referee Director – Caren Friend
Development Director – Brandon McDonald
Community Engagement Director – Mania Marsters
General Committee Members – Stu Geros, Christian Browne, Peter Casey, Jill Zochling and Hanna ClareManly Touch would like to congratulate all on their reappointment for 2021/22.
KeymasterManly Touch would like to congratulate the following players on their selection to the 2022 U16 Girls Junior State Cup team:

As many of our U7s and U9s girls and boys are new to touch football you will also need to be aware of these minor rule modifications to the normal Touch Football Australia 8th Edition Rules.
Key Points for U7s
The most important modification is that in U7s the attacking team is allowed their full set of 6 touches regardless of any infringements.
Drop balls, late or forward passes, over the mark, etc count as a touch. Each team gets 6 chances with the ball in attack. Any infringement is not ‘play on’, it is counted as a touch. For example, any drop ball means that we will stop play and it is counted as a touch – it is not play on like in rugby or league. The player must go back and play the ball correctly but they still get to keep the ball for their 6 touches.
It is important to note that defenders are also not able to move up until the first receiver has touched the ball or the dummy-half runs with the ball.
Key Points for U9s
Normal touch football rules apply for U9s, for example drop balls, late or forward passes and over the mark are all a changeover of possession.
However, like U7s the defence is also not able to move up until the first receiver has touched the ball or the dummy-half runs with the ball.
Coaching
Coaches are allowed on the field in U7s and U9s games (except Finals) but must remain at least 5m behind the players. Coaches are not permitted to speak with the referees.
Behaviour
MWTA supports a zero tolerance to abuse of referees. Such behaviour can lead to players, coaches or parents being cited and/or teams losing competition points and, in extreme cases, teams will be removed from the competition.
Referees
All teams are required to pay the referee fee of $5 per match before the match commences.
Game Locations
All U7s and U9s games are at Nolan Reserve, North Manly.
The following download of Nolan Reserve shows the field layouts.
Ground Manager
On game day the Ground Manager and Referee’s Coordinator will be located at our Clubhouse at the Northern end of Nolan Reserve.
Playing Shirts
Team playing shirts and ball collection for all U7 and U9 teams is tonight 5.00pm – 6.00pm in our Clubhouse at Nolan Reserve. Please note social distancing rules apply and there is to be no more than 20 people in the clubhouse at any one time, so you may be asked to wait outside.

November 17, 2021 at 9:48 am in reply to: 2021 MANLY TOUCH JUNIOR COMP COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS #10496KeymasterOur Junior Summer Touch Football Competition kicks off tomorrow with the U7s and U9s and then Friday for the U11s to U17s.
Please note that like all community sports Manly Touch must operate under the NSW Government Public Health Orders currently in place. Our competition is classified as a COVID-19 safe outdoor public gathering, with a maximum capacity of 1 person per 2 square metres.
This means the following:
- A COVID-19 safe outdoor public gathering requires the organiser to have and implement a COVID-19 Safety Plan for outdoor community sport, which Manly Touch has.
- There is no upper limit to capacity beyond the 1 person per 2 square metres. Which means the 1,000 person limit no longer applies.
- Only fully vaccinated adults (16 years and above), children under 16 years of age, and people with an approved medical contraindication certificate are permitted to attend.
2021 MANLY TOUCH JUNIOR COMP COVID-19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS
To ensure we meet the NSW Public Health Orders, Manly Touch has put the following specific protocols in place so our 2021 Junior Summer Competition is a COVID-19 safe environment to play for our junior members:
Wellbeing of Members and Visitors
- If you feel unwell please stay home and seek medical clearance before returning to Manly Touch.
- All participants, parents/guardians, coaches, managers, spectators aged 16 and over that enter Nolan Reserve and Passmore Reserve must be fully vaccinated or have a medical exemption.
Physical Distancing
- Capacity levels must not exceed 1 person per 2 square metres of space.
- Avoid congestion especially around our Clubhouse and Southern Amenity Building.
- Social distancing measures are always to be maintained, ensuring physical distancing of 1.5m especially when spectating.
- We also request that spectators remain 5m from the sidelines and where possible stand at the end of the field, not along the sideline. The sideline is for the players, coach, and manager.
Hygiene
- Please adopt good hand hygiene practices. Hand sanitiser will be available at Nolan Reserve and Passmore Reserve.
Record Keeping
- All players, coaches, managers, referees, and spectators must check-in at Nolan Reserve or Passmore Reserve using our QR Code via your Service NSW App.
- QR codes can be found on all field flags, Clubhouse, Southern Amenity, Ground Manager’s Desks, and other convenient locations.
- If you are not carrying a phone, please visit one of the Ground Manager’s desks to sign in.
OTHER
Behaviour
- Manly Touch requests that you always show respect to all our kids and referees by keeping your comments positive – remember, our local junior touch football competition is social and about the kids having fun.
- MWTA supports a zero tolerance to abuse of referees. Such behaviour can lead to players, coaches or parents being cited and/or teams losing competition points and, in extreme cases, teams will be removed from the competition.
Local Residents
- Please respect our local neighbours and residents. Do not park across their driveways. NBC Rangers are regularly spotted in the area.
More Information
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we have been preparing for the season, and wish all our teams a fun and successful season.

KeymasterMTWA 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.
