Whitsunday Touch President Receives State Award

Alita DeBrincat was recently celebrated as the Queensland Touch Administrator of the Year at the 2024 Queensland Touch Football Awards which was held in the Gold Coast on Monday 2 December.
Alita has held the position of President of the Whitsunday Touch Association for the past three years and was recognised as Touch Football Australia’s Volunteer of the Month in June for her continued commitment to the club.
“It takes every single member in our club to make it great, and we’re so lucky to have an awesome committee that’s passionate about what we do,” shared Alita.
“At Whitsunday Touch, it’s really simple – it’s about footy for fun, for everyone.”
Alita’s dedication and contributions to the Whitsunday Touch Association’s overall success within the community cannot be understated.
“Our goal is to make our carnival, the Whitsunday Cup, a must-do event for every touch football affiliate in Australia and we’re so lucky to have a great community here in the Whitsundays,” added Alita.
“It’s the perfect sport for kids, mum, dads, the whole family as it’s safe, non-contact, and there’s no training or travel required – even if you’ve never played before, we’ll show you the ropes – just come and give it a go!”
Alita has been part of the touch football community since she was fourteen years old, and she continues to draw inspiration from fellow Whitsunday Touch Association members to cultivate a welcoming environment.
