This year marks a huge year for Touch Football celebrating the 50th anniversary of the birth of this sport in Australia and its 40th year in the Noosa district. Touch Football can be and is played by both genders from youngsters to the young at heart.
While the local competition for juniors and seniors has been up and running for a couple of weeks the first senior representative event on the calander this year is the 2018 National Touch League. Players from all around the country will descend on Coff’s Harbour from the 7-10 March to contest the event.
Noosa Touch is proud to have a local contingent of players, coaches and managers heading interstate, into blues territory, to participate against some of the strongest players in the game in various teams and across age divisions from Under 20’s to Over 50’s.
The club acknowledges Glenn, Mandy, Penny, Shar, Renee, Jason Mac, Shelly, Craig, Dani, Cassie, Isaac, Chris (Jordo), Nikki, Steph, Jake, Ali and Tim, who will be heading south to represent the club.
On a junior representative level, Noosa Touch held the Sunshine Coast School selection trials for Under 15 and Under 18 last Thursday. In hot sunny conditions and fields still quite damp from recent rain, a high standard of play was on show from kids across the region. All of the local high schools were represented and should be proud of their students whom all played well and showed great sportsmanship on the day. Congratulations to the players named to go to the Queensland Titles to be held in Townsville and Rockhampton later in the year.
