Whether you’re looking for a social run with friends, a way to stay active, or some friendly competition, Townsville Touch Football has the perfect competition for you.
This year’s season promises to be bigger and better than ever, with the much-loved Monday Mixed and Tuesday Veterans competitions set to return, bringing together players of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds for a fun and exciting season of touch footy.
The Monday Mixed competition, kicking off on 17 March 2025, is all about fun, fitness, and good times.
With multiple grades available, teams of all skill levels can find their place in this mixed-gendered league.
If you’ve never played touch football before, this is the perfect opportunity to give it a go in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
For those who thrive on a bit of competition, higher grades offer the chance to test your skills against strong opposition while still keeping the social spirit alive.
Each team must have at least three female players and one male player on the field at all times, ensuring an exciting and dynamic style of play that makes mixed touch so enjoyable.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or stepping onto the field for the first time, there’s no better way to kickstart your week than with Monday night touch footy.
For the over-30s crowd, the Tuesday Veterans competition, beginning on 18 March 2025, offers the perfect mix of fun, fitness, and nostalgia.
If you’ve been missing the days of seven- or eight-a-side footy, played a bit of league or union in your younger years, or just want a run without the speed and step of the younger generation, this competition is for you!
There’s nothing quite like getting together with mates, having a run, and enjoying the camaraderie that comes with a social yet competitive game of touch football.
All teams will play a combined round of regular season games before splitting into A and B finals, ensuring a fair and enjoyable competition for everyone involved.
It’s the perfect way to stay active, stay social, and keep the love of the game alive!
To get involved in either competition, teams need to complete a nomination and pay the $1,000 entry fee.
The first instalment of $500 is due on or before the first game, with the remaining $500 payable on the second game night.
Don't forget, touch football is one of the cheapest team sports in town, with no additional nightly, match, and gate fees, making it easier than ever to play.
A quick note for team managers:
Each team must also provide a Duty Referee who will be required to officiate games when allocated. It is anticipated that they won’t be required every week, but teams must ensure they have someone available when needed.
No previous refereeing experience? No worries!
Free training and accreditation will be provided early in the season to ensure Duty Referees are confident and ready to go.
Once a team has been nominated, all players must register individually online via the MySideline platform.
Townsville Touch Football does not charge an individual player registration fee, but players must pay the National membership fee of $22 and the State membership fee of $30 at the time of registration. These fees are only charged once per financial year, with the Natioanl fee providing insurance coverage for players in case of injury. If you’ve already paid them since 1 July 2024, you won’t need to pay again!
For those looking for an even greater challenge, the 2025 Colliers Shield season is set to kick off in late March, with club registrations now open. Running annually from March to August, the Colliers Shield is Townsville’s premier club-based touch football competition, offering graded divisions to suit players of all ages and skill levels.
If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, now’s the time to get involved!
The 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, and there’s never been a better time to get involved in Townsville Touch Football.
Whether you’re playing for the competition, the fitness, or just the fun, there’s a place for you on the field this year.
Gather your team, lace up your boots, and get ready to be part of the action – this is a season you won’t want to miss!
