About 

Goulburn Touch Association hosts Men’s, Women’s, Mixed and Junior Touch Competitions at Carr-Confoy Oval, Goulburn.
​
All competitions commence in mid-October, breaking for Christmas and the January holidays, resuming late January (first week of school for Juniors), with Grand Finals held in late March.

Monday night is Men’s and Women’s Competition night, commencing at 6:00pm.
Various divisions are offered by Goulburn Touch Association depending on the number of teams submitted. 

Wednesday Night sees the Mixed Competition take place. Similar to the Men’s and Women’s Competitions, divisions are offered for social teams, as well as teams looking for a more serious competition.

On Tuesday afternoon during the summer months GTA conducts its Junior Competition for age groups from under 8s to under 16s. This competition is the ideal way for children to socialise while keeping fit. Goulburn Touch Association holds BBQs and an end of season presentation for our juniors.

Goulburn Touch Association has a proud senior representative history also, and we are looking to enter teams into the ACT Super League, Country Championships and Yass Knockout.

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 event play together. Even at the most elite end of the sport, there are Mixed as well as Men’s and Women’s divisions.
