Warrnambool Touch Football

🏉 Women in Touch – Week 1

What a great way to kick off our Women in Touch Program at Deakin University Oval last night! It was fantastic to welcome some new faces who were keen to learn more about Touch Football, alongside current Warrnambool Touch Football members who were there to support, encourage and join in the fun.

The night was all about connection, confidence, skills and having a go. The group worked through passing and catching, passing on the run, rollballs, dummy-half pick-ups, making a touch and some simple attacking and defending activities before putting it all together in a game to finish the night.

There were plenty of laughs, lots of encouragement and some great improvement as the night went on! Most importantly, everyone gave it their best, regardless of whether they were picking up a Touch Football for the first time or already had some playing experience.

Missed last night? You’re definitely not too late! 🙌 Our FREE Women in Touch Program continues for the next three Thursday nights from 6:00–7:00pm at Deakin University Oval. New and current participants are very welcome to join us at any stage — come along, meet some great people, learn some new skills and have some fun!
