📸 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. 

A big thank you to Jimmy A Photography for capturing action shots. Game Day media is located below.

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. 

Toowong Autumn 🏆: Flickers, Misfits 13

Toowong Autumn 🏆: Flickers, Misfits

Flickers have secured a maiden division one grand final victory over Not Fast, Just Furious overnight. 

After going down at the hands of Balls Deep a season ago, Flickers went one better with a hard-fought 8-6 win in wet conditions. 

With both teams suffering illness and injuries in the lead up, it was a battle of attrition.

The conditions favoured try assist leader Cory Williams who targeted tired defenders with simple draw and pass opportunities. 

By the end, Williams added another five try assists to his season tally, the equal most by any player in a grand final match. 

It was a huge effort by Not Fast, Just Furious who played three girls in the middle for the entire match. 

Try leader Trent Gossner and Isaac Mobbs added some much needed spark in attack to keep touch with Flickers. 

When it was all said and done, the craft of Cory Williams was the difference.
A deserving player of the match award, and Flickers team victory.

Misfits Master The Wet

 

Misfits Cheese Touch Toowong Kick It Touch Grand Finals

Good mates make great grand finals. 

Cheese Touch and Misfits put on a great showing in the division two grand final. 

While wet, the clouds cleared with a gritty game in greasy conditions. 

Ball security proved to be most valuable, with Misfits gaining key field position as a result. 

Key tries to Will and Luke proved the difference in a low scoring affair. 

Well done to Misfits on their win - their first in two years.
