Development NTS
The Development National Touch Series is the perfect tournament for clubs, teams and players to experience national competition throughout the season.
- Three single-day tournaments, with final rankings based on league points earned in the tournaments
- Open to any club and team which is affiliated to England Touch
- Limited numbers of elite players per team. Elite players are asked to coach and/or referee
- Clubs only entering a single team are still expected to provide a referee, but are not required to. Clubs entering multiple teams will have to provide a referee for each team they enter beyond their first. Player referee allocations will be done for a whole team to cover a game
All Rounds will be live streamed on YouTube.
As well as live streaming, the £250 per team tournament fee cover venue and field hire, photography, medical provision, referees, PA and marquee hire, equipment and other expenses.
