Our established Touch Football program promotes excellence

Touch Football is a fast, skilful, safe and exciting sport with opportunities for girls and boys to progress to State and National Representative level. Based originally on the game of Rugby League, Touch Football has become one of Australia’s largest participatory sports, with huge popularity in the eastern states and ever-growing numbers of participants and competitions here in South Australia.

Our established Specialist Touch Football program is for selected students at Years 7 to 11 for boys and girls and is taught within the Physical Education program.

We have played an important role in initiating a pathway for Touch Footballers in SA with more than 60 of our students achieving State selection at Under 12, Under 15, Under 18 and Senior level since 2006.
