Clubs, Training, Registration & Fees

All competitions are run in a club-based structure, meaning that you must register and play for one of our local clubs. Each club has their own location for training, which usually happens on a weekday in the afternoon/evenings. Most clubs train on Wednesday nights, but you should consult your club first.

All registrations are done online, through a simple process which your club can help you through if you get stuck.

Registration fees are set by the individual clubs, so please contact your club to find out! Some clubs include uniforms as part of their fees, others require you to purchase them in addition to your registration.

There are no game or entrance fees associated with playing in the junior competitions.

An annual membership and insurance fee is charged by our state and national bodies - QLD Touch Football and Touch Football Australia - which you'll pay when you register for the first time in a financial year (between 1 July and 31 June). You'll only pay these fees once per financial year, so if you're playing in another of our competitions (or anywhere else in QLD) then you won't need to pay them again!

Uniforms & Playing Gear

You can purchase uniforms from your club, either as part of your registration fee, or as a separate purchase. Your club will advise you of this at the time of registration.

The correct playing top (shirt or singlet) is required to be able to play. If you do not have the correct club shorts, your club may allow you to play in a similar-coloured pair of shorts, provided that they are predominantly the same colour (a small stripe of a different colour is fine) as the rest of the team.

The only extra bits of equipment that you will require are:

1. A pair of closed-in shoes:
   • Touch football boots are preferred (no screw-in, metal, or plastic studs); or
   • Cross-trainers.
2. A water bottle:
   • Please only bring a standard plastic water bottle, no metal (including Yeti's, etc.) or glass is to be brought onto the grounds.
