Indomie Noodles All Abilities 2.0

This grant will allow Touch Football Australia (TFA) to continue the Indomie Noodles All Abilities program throughout all states and territories. TFA will work with partners to build out an additional program (weeks 7-12) and deliver a game ready program to assist Indomie Noodles All Abilities athletes with integration into a mainstream Touch Football Competition. Coach and Facilitator training for the Indomie Noodles All Abilities program will transition to an online module-based session (through The Nest) to allow for easier access to the program for both Affiliates & participants. TFA will launch the program extension in the coming months.
