Touch

Touch Football is increasing in population in our zone, with 18 schools participating in the competition in 2022.

Touch football is a fun and exciting sport to play.  Schools can enter both boys and girls junior and senior teams. Each team has 7 players on the field at a time, and players rotate through the game with unlimited substitutions.

The aim of the game is to score touchdowns by getting through the opponent team’s part of the field and placing the ball down in the touchdown zone.  Your team will have six ‘touches’ as your opportunity to score. The sixth ‘touch’, dropping the ball or any infringement to the rules result in a changeover and the attacking team then becomes the defending side. The rules of the game are easy to understand and suitable for everyone to enjoy Touch Football.

In 2021, we had strong representation at the Sydney West Touch Football trial. The girls finished 1st and the boys finished second in a thrilling grand final.

This year a super talented boys and girls team will represent Castle Hill Zone at the Sydney west Touch Football Gala Day in late March. We wish them luck!
