All Abilities
What is All Abilities?
Touch Football Australia's All Abilities programs are completely inclusive, offering opportunities for individuals with intellectual and/or physical impairments to learn Touch Football skills and play the sport with their family members, carers, friends, and even elite players. The programs encourage participants to become active members of the sports community through inclusion.
Touch Beyond Limits
Touch Beyond Limits
TFA has been delivering this inclusive program, formerly known as Touch Football Specialised, which transitioned to All Abilities in 2019. The Sport Australia Participation Grant supported this transition through grant funding in 2019 and 2021. In 2024, the program relaunches across all platforms to align the delivery and updated content in one central location with the name 'Touch Beyond Limits' encompassing everything that the program portrays.
