The module will run for six weeks — February 3, February 10, February 17, February 24, March 3 and March 10.
On the last night, after the completion of games, Hautapu Sports Club will provide a sausage and drink for all players, coaches, and managers.

Year 3/4 games will be played first, then year 5/6 followed by year 7/8.
The games
Games comprise of 2 x 12 minute halves with a 2-minute half time.
Referees will be provided for all games.
Playing kit
All players will need sneakers or touch shoes, no BARE FEET. Players will wear Hautapu Sports Club playing shirts and black shorts.
How to register
The deadline for registrations is Sunday January 29, 2023.
The cost is $30 per player and you will be invoiced nearer the start date of the module.
Hautapu Sports players will be sorted into teams, trying as best as possible to keep teams in school groups and ensure a fair mix of both year groups in the grade and boys/girls.
How you can help
The club needs volunteers who are interested in coaching and managing teams.
Without these important people, teams cannot operate.
If you, or someone you know, is interested in supporting our teams please indicate this, with your contact details, on the registration form.
Hautapu Sports Club fully supports and provides training for coaches and managers. Teams that do not have a coach and/or manager may not be registered and therefore be unable to play this season.
