Latest News & Information

This year, weâ€™re working hard to put a stop to abusive spectators and parents at Touch Football matches, and we want your help! To combat the growing number of cases around sports abuse, the North Queensland Touch Association has adopted the â€œRed Card Bad Behaviourâ€ initiative.

Coaches and Managers at this year's NQ Junior Touch Football Championships will be issued with “Bad Behaviour Red Cards” and will be using them to help end unacceptable and unnecessary behaviour from spectators. This includes parents, family and friends of players of all teams. Our kids want to enjoy themselves, not see their family and friends abusing the referees or other players!

The onus is on you as a spectator to control yourself, and if you don’t, our Coaches and Managers have the authority to ask you to leave the spectator area surrounding the field. In this case, you (and your children) could be liable to suspensions from future regional events.

Don’t be the one that ruins everyone’s fun this weekend, think before you speak, and remember that everyone is out there doing their best!
