Young athletes from across the region will take to the fields this Friday, 9 May, as the Whitsunday Touch Association hosts its highly anticipated Touch Football School Trials at Club Whitsunday.
The trials are expected to draw a strong turnout of talented students, all vying for selection and keen to showcase their skills, teamwork, and fitness on the field. Touch football, a fast-paced and strategic non-contact sport, continues to grow in popularity throughout Queensland schools, and this local trial presents an important opportunity for players to impress selectors and progress further in the sport.
The event is not only a platform for athletic achievement but also a celebration of community and participation. With multiple games scheduled throughout the day, the atmosphere is set to be energetic and full of support from friends, family, and school staff.
To keep participants and supporters well-fed and refreshed, the Whitsunday Touch Association has ensured that a range of food and drink options will be available on-site. The outside can bar will operate from 10am to 2pm, offering classic snacks such as pies, sausage rolls, lolly bags, and soft drinks.
For those seeking a more filling meal, the Club Bistro inside will open from 11.30am, serving a wide selection of favourites. A special burger and drink deal for $25 will be on offer for those looking to enjoy a satisfying lunch between games. In addition, the clubhouse coffee station will be available from 9.30am, providing a much-needed caffeine boost for early arrivals and supporters.
Organisers are looking forward to a successful day, not only in terms of player performance but also in building community spirit around touch football. Events like these are vital in fostering a love for sport at a grassroots level, encouraging healthy competition and sportsmanship among young athletes.
The Whitsunday Touch Association invites the public to come down, enjoy the day, cheer on the players, and be part of a growing local sporting tradition.
