Game Day capped off a tremendous end to term 3 with some fantastic footy on show for parents and friends.

The age groups that participants were placed in for each weekly session made up the teams for Game Day; and it showed.

Toowong in particular gelled well as a team with both juniors and U13 teams remaining undefeated on the day.

Carseldine age groups were split to cater for the increased numbers, with all four sides performing well as a group.

A special thank you to our coaches who were able to help out on the day, and make the kids feel more comfortable.

Term 3 skill focus:
A strong focus for all age groups was rucking. Learning how to play the ball, the role of the dummy half and being available as a first receiver.
Each age group touched on safe diving to limit injuries in try scoring situations.

Juniors: 
A repetitive focus on running and evasion, with and without the football. Being able to pass and catch on the run. Beating a defender one-on-one, or being able to touch the ball carrier in a one-on-one situation. Build confidence in a draw and pass situation.

U13s
Rucking, splits and fluency. Rucking in twos and threes. Performing a ruck and split near the goal line. A secondary aim was to work together as a team. Achieve two or more passes on touch 4 and 5. Refining draw and pass efficiency and touching on the basic movements of all kick types - grubber, chip and drop kick.

Well done to all participants in Sunday's game day event at Carseldine.
A great job by both Toowong teams who remained undefeated through the day for the first time.

Term 2 Game Day at Carseldine capped off an outstanding Sunday afternoon of touch footy!

The skills learned during the term were on full display from all participants, making games an exciting and appealing visual.

A Kick It 4 Kids first where kids were coached and played in age groups, with U13s, U11s and juniors matches played.

U13s teams from Carseldine and Toowong had the opportunity to play in two 30-minute games.

This was made possible by the inclusion of an u13s Mary MacKillop College team, consisting of girls from their term 2 junior touch football teams as part of the CASSSA sporting program.

The additional external local school team is part of our key growth goal specifically in the twelve and thirteen years age group.
It's a thrilling template that we will continue to use moving forward.

Skill Focus:
A strong focus for all age groups was rucking. Learning how to play the ball, the role of the dummy half and being available as a first receiver.

Juniors: 
A repetitive focus on running and evasion, with and without the football. Being able to pass and catch on the run. Beating a defender one-on-one, or being able to touch the ball carrier in a one-on-one situation.

U11s
A goal was to build confidence with a draw and pass. How to execute a draw and pass in structured and semi structured environments. Touch on the basic movements of safe diving and the fundamental movements of different kick types - grubber, chip or drop kick.

U13s
Doubling down on rucking and fluency. Rucking in twos and threes. Performing a ruck and split near the goal line. A secondary aim was to work together as a team. Achieve two or more passes on touch 4 and 5. Putting these skills into a less structured 3-on-3 game simulation.

Term 3 come and try sessions available at Carseldine and Toowong from early July.

A fantastic term of touch footy was highlighted by some thrilling Game Day performances.

Despite the wet conditions, ball handling was not an issue as kids from all teams performed well.

During the term, a strong focus was on learning the basics of rucking, as well as how to perform a draw and pass.

It paid off with plenty of quality play and over 20 tries scored across the two matches.

Game Day media is available below.

Don't forget about our come and try sessions at Carseldine and Toowong from mid-April.
