Cook Islands Touch Association is urging interested teams to register for Beach Touch competition at the upcoming Beach Games to be held from January 6-21, 2023.

Registration closes on December 19.

Cook Islands Touch president Julieanne Westrupp said the categories in the Beach Touch will include Under-18s, Open and Masters – all mixed.

Touch will be played from Monday, January 9 to 12.

“All you need is eight players, two females on attack and a female on defense at all times. Sex of players in your team is totally up to you. Three women and five men is good or four and four is also good.

“If you want to have some fun playing in the sand, diving on the sand - give it a go.”
