Competition Draw
We recommend all parents and managers to check the draws the morning of the games each week.
The start to the season is usually quite hectic, and the club usually works late into the evening to react to unforeseen changes due to weather, teams withdrawing, fields, lights and other factors outside of our control.
Please continue to check the draws on the morning of the competition and monitor our Facebook page for any late announcements.
Link to the competition draws on My Sideline can be found here: https://tfa.mysideline.com.au/competitions/association/6674

Additional Competition Rules
Junior Representative Players
The aim is to make for a fairer competition across all age groups, promote healthy competitions in each age group, but still taking into account kids wanting to play with their friends in a social competition.
What is the definition of a representative player for our Junior Competition? Representative players are those players who were selected to represent Penrith Touch Association in this years (February 2026) Junior State Cup. Please note even if the Junior State Cup is cancelled the players selected in those teams are still considered to be representative players. This definition also applies to players who have represented other affiliates.
There are to be no more than 4 representative players per team playing in their correct age division in our competitions.
If a team breaches the representative player rules, they run the risk of forfeiting matches, competition points or even expulsion from the competition for repeat offences. Please let us know if you believe a team is not following the rules and our junior committee will investigate.
Mercy Rule
Please be advised that Penrith Touch has a 'mercy' rule in place for all junior competitions, whereby if a team is losing by a 6-point difference during a game, they will be permitted to add an extra player to the field of play.
This extra player will remain on the field up until a time where that team is then only losing by a 4-point difference, at which time they must remove the extra player from the field of play (back to even numbers).
The use of this rule within our junior competitions is designed to allow one-sided games to become more even and enjoyable in a skill and result element, when weaker teams may play against stronger teams, but also without significantly impacting the end result of the match.
This rule will also allow all players in our junior competitions to enjoy playing touch football with their friends in an environment better equipped to their development.
Penrith Touch asks that all team delegates, coaches and spectators kindly respect this rule during junior competition games if implemented by referees and remember to cheer on the kids during games. At the end of the day, we are here to allow them to enjoy playing touch football with their friends.
U5 Drop Ball Rule
Unique for the U5 age division, a drop ball is counted as a touch.

Tips for Choosing your Team Name
We encourage you to be creative when deciding on your team name. Using popular team names can create confusing draws when there is more than 1 team with the same name. It also makes it difficult for you to manage the links when you have multiple teams with the same name in different age groups. We would suggest the following when you are creating multiple teams:
- Adding the age and group to the end of your team name: eg, Touch Force U11 Girls, and Touch Force U9 Boys
- Add your team's colour to your team name: eg, Touch Force Green
- Be creative and unique
The below is a list of popular team names from previous seasons to take extra care of when using them:
- YTB
- YTG
- Untouchables
- Western Sydney Raiders
If you would like to update your team name, please send a message to us on Facebook.com/penrithtouchofficial and we'll take care of it for you.
