PLAY TOUCH FOOTBALL – TAREN POINT LOCAL COMPETITION
Taren Point Touch Association provides local touch football competitions in the Sutherland Shire, catering for male and female participants from 7-70 years of age. TPTA is the only NSW Touch (NSWTA) and Touch Football Australia (TFA) affiliated touch football association in the Sutherland Shire, and is run 100% by volunteers who are passionate about the sport of Touch Football and its growth in the region.
Based at Gwawley Park in the heart of the Sutherland Shire participants compete in local junior and senior competitions throughout winter and summer in a fun, family and friendly environment where the emphasis is placed on participation as well as building skills and fitness.
Players who participate in these local competitions are eligible to be selected for the Sharks representative teams who play in the NSWTA Vawdon Cup competition, and the annual Junior and Senior State Cup tournaments.
Is Touch the same as Tag?
No, there’s no ‘tag’ in Touch Football! You don’t need any specific types of shorts to play like you do in a tag game.
Do you have to be fit to play Touch?
Nope, Touch Football at park level is a social sport. And there’s a reason it’s Australia’s largest social sport, with 700,000 people around the country taking part – everyone can play, no matter your age or size. It’s just about finding a social team that suits you.
What is Mixed Touch?
Many Touch Football clubs around the country offer ‘Mixed’ competitions, which means males and females can play in teams together. Depending on the age criteria set by the club, this means whole families (kids, parents, grandparents) can even play together. Even at the most elite end of the sport, there are Mixed as well as Men’s and Women’s divisions.
