Game Day Term 4 - Final word 8

Game Day Term 4 – Final word

The first Game Day event at Toowong was met with the hottest gala day to date.

Despite the hot conditions, we witnessed some tremendous touch footy matches across the age groups.

Term 4 was one of many firsts, including player jerseys, team logos, new sponsors, the introduction to touch footy program (for 4-6 year olds) and the inclusion of Forest Lake.

Over 130 registered kids across the three locations made for a fantastic term of touch footy.

The increased numbers gave a real team environment and made each weekly session enjoyable for the kids, and coaching team alike.

There was a strong skills focus on the very basics of touch footy. No matter the age group or team, catching, passing, agility and rucking were four common skills in activities.

Secondary skills such as kicking, diving and easy touch footy moves made for a fun variation to any session.

Perhaps the most notable was teamwork. Whether working together in pairs or larger groups; the focus in the vast majority of activities was getting involved and working together.

And it showed, with some highlight-reel performances on Sunday, December 8th at Toowong.

Testimonials

〉I enrolled by son in Kick It 4 Kids as I didn't want him playing contact sport. He loves the NRL, so this gave him a chance to learn the skills that he sees on tv. He is so excited to play each Monday night. Thank you.

〉My daughter played touch football for club and when we moved away, we found Kick It 4 Kids. I love the skills development each week. I feel this was something that my daughter was missing. She is even excited by the chance to kick the ball games.

〉The kid's program really helped with some son's social anxiety. I wasn't sure how it would go at the start, but the coaches and small age groups helped him feel comfortable. He even made a new friend. Corey and the other coaches do a great job.

〉I used to play touch football, I would of loved this as a kid. It beats sitting inside on an ipad all day. My two really enjoy it.
