The Whitsunday Touch Football Club is calling for more females to join and experience the fun, camaraderie, and community of touch footy. It’s easy to learn and get involved, whether you're a beginner, returning after a break, or a girl who's rocked the touch footy world for years, the Club is the place for you.
All the teams are mixed and sorted by grades, so you may even find yourself playing against your father like Sylvie who has been with the club for 2 years; “Dad was always playing touch as I grew up, and I used to play when I was really young, but didn’t stay with it. It’s pretty awesome to be able to play footy with my dad.”
Matilda, who’s back after a long break, shared about her second week playing; “Everyone is super friendly and really welcoming, they’ve made me feel really comfortable.” She says, “it's nice to play with people of all different ages.”
Lanie and Chloe have been playing for 5 and 20 years, respectively, and both love playing at Jubilee Pocket. “I play A grade with the adults, and everyone’s really supportive,” says young Lanie. Chloe shares, “It’s a beautiful club. We’re a small community but always get a big turnout. I look forward to Monday nights and I’m still learning lots of skills and picking up new tricks all the time!”
Open to all abilities and ages, the club is looking for more females to join. Get fit, make lifelong friends, and play hard in this inclusive sport. Visit www.whitsundaytouch.com.au or email hello@whitsundaytouch.com.au to register for the upcoming season!
