📸 Snaps and wraps | Term two comes to a close

Term two is in the books and what a fantastic term of junior touch footy it was. 

Over 50 new participants took the field at all four locations, many of whom were playing touch football for the first time. 

New participants joined exisiting teams, and met some new friends in their positive team environments. 

Led by some tremendous coaches, players were able to build a quality skill foundation during training sessions.

The skills were on full show at the two Game Day events at Forest Lake and Toowong. 

A special mention to the Wynnum Wallabies; 
Our newest location fielded their first team at both event with some quality showings. Even more pleasing was how they came together as a team despite missing numerous training sessions due to wet weather. 

Congratulations to our term two pool A grand final winners (pictured), Carseldine Blue and Toowong Pink. 

It was Blue's third consecutive win, while Toowong Pink earned a hard-fought maiden victory over Carseldine.

Play The Ball | Introduction to Touch Football 11

Play The Ball | Introduction to Touch Football

The Introduction to Touch Football program concluded this week, capping off a successful term 2 at Carseldine and Toowong.

It was fantastic to see so many excited individuals participating and wanting to improve.

The program has been designed to expose young children to touch football through a wide range of activities. 

Participants will build gross motor skills around their movements - agility, acceleration, evasion, judgement and coordination.

Next, they will begin to develop foundation skills - pass, kick and catch technique, playing the ball and scoring a try. 

Finally, children will start to learn about the game of touch football - playing the ball following a touch, what a dummy half & first receiver does and retreating to the referee after a touch. 

All are subtle development traits that over time will give participants are big head start when joining a team. 

Play the ball

It's not all about running, agility and evasion. 

The play the ball is a core fundamental of touch football, and a key focus area throughout the six-week Introduction program.

Understanding what a play the ball is, and how/when to perform one is an important step.

We can incorporate the play the ball movement into a variety of activities to ensure participants are constantly repeating the skill when it's not always the focus. 

Through repetition, we can introduce a dummy half and first receiver; slowly piecing together a touch footy puzzle. 

It's not until the trial game in week five, and the parents & kids game in week six that it all starts to make sense. 

A simple skill that is developed rather quickly, with some good results. 

The full Introduction to Touch Football activity list and schedule is available via the resources tab below. 

Wrap Up: Term One + Game Day Media 13

Wrap Up: Term One + Game Day Media

Term one came to a close on Sunday following a compelling Game Day event at Carseldine. 

Teams from Carseldine, Forest Lake and Toowong competed across three pools, producing some fascinating junior touch footy.

Coaches and participants put in the hard work during each weekly session, coming together as a team and playing in good spirits. 

In pool C, we had twelve new players in their first term of Kick It 4 Kids.
A fantastic job by coaches Adam, Mia and Matt to help build confidence, skills and allow them to feel comfortable in a junior touch football team environment. 

Equally in pool B, over a dozen new participants took the field.
A credit to coaches Sienna, Willow, Steven, Mia and Matt for getting them ready. 

For the first time, Pool A was separated into boys and girls divisions, with Carseldine Blue and Purple coming out on top. 

It has been a long time coming for some of our most experienced players who tasted success for the first time. 

The Pool A dynamic is an area we can continue to grow as the year progresses, and eventually split up based on age.

A big thank you to our Game Day sponsors Hai Hai Ramen, LazerZone Lawnton and Grill'd Chermside. 
A special thanks to all coaches, parents and participants for creating an exciting term one of Kick It 4 Kids.

Introduction to Touch Football

The youngest participants have the last laugh. 

The final session of our term one Introduction to Touch Football program included a parents and kids game. 

Plenty of smiles, an abundance of laughs and some determined individuals created for a fun end to the program. 

During the term, participants learnt the basics of touch footy, including play the ball, dummy half work, basic passing, evasion and some kicking. 

With the parents help, participants excelled in a touch football game environment; for some, it was their very first match. 

The Introduction to Touch Football program (4-6 years) returns in term two at Carseldine and Toowong. 
Information is available online.
