How do I register?
Once registrations open you will register yourself via the Rugby Xplorer app - this is when you will pay your registration fee.

Juniors $105 per player
Opens $145 per player
This includes all insurances, sporting association fees and registration fees.
Where and when do we play?
Touch 7s is a tournament played in the off-season after the winter rugby season has finished starting in September for Seniors and October (term 4) for Juniors.
This is an inclusive tournament and you don’t need to be a member of Wanneroo Rugby to register.
All games are played at Wanneroo Rugby Club, Spectator Drive, Madeley.
Games are Thursday nights and start at 5:30 for juniors and 6:30 for seniors.
Can I play in a team with my friends?
Yes! As part of your registration process you will need to register to a team. Find out the details of your team’s registration details from your team manager/captain.
Can I still play if I don’t have a team?
Yes, we welcome individual registrations. However, team allocation will only happen when a collection of individual registrations surpasses the minimum team number of seven (7) players. Please fill in the Expression of Interest so we can find you a team.
Do we need a special uniform to play?
No, every team can organise their own uniform but the team has to be distinguishable, ideally with a number for Seniors and look the same to get on the field.
To avoid conflicts with jersey colours and styles, we require the team manager to contact us to check that your colour combination is available.
This season we have partnered with Paladin Sports who are offering an exclusive deal to supply playing kit for registered teams to the competition.
Will I get injured?
You will be your own worst enemy. This is a non-contact version of the game so pulling an underutilised hamstring might be the worst of your problems.
Do we need to go to additional training?
No, Touch 7s is all about having fun and being social. Turn up for your game on a Thursday and enjoy the festivities at the club afterwards - family friendly environment with meal options at the canteen and a licensed bar.
If your team would like to secure field space for training, please get in contact with us.
