Rookie’s Touch Program (Ages 5–11)

The Rookie’s Touch Program is the perfect introduction or progression to Junior Touch in the Whitsundays. With two seasons per year, Rookie’s allows kids to learn the game in a real competition environment while feeling supported, encouraged, and included.
Each session is carefully structured to maximise learning and enjoyment. Half of every lesson focuses on skills and drills, developing the fundamentals of Touch, including passing, catching, movement, key motor skills, coordination, and age-appropriate fitness.
The second half of the session transitions into modified game play, where participants put their new skills into action in a fun, inclusive, and positive game setting. Our program strongly emphasises personal improvement, confidence, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
