“TFA recognises the incredibly hard work and countless hours that take place in the community by our volunteers; individuals and clubs who make Touch Football one of the most inclusive and welcoming sports.” said Jamie O’Connor, TFA Chief Executive Officer. 

“Touch Football means so much to so many and has the ability to transform lives. Local affiliates (clubs) are the backbone of our sport and more often than not their local communities so it’s important that we recognise and reward the incredible work our people do across the country each and every day.”  

“I would like to acknowledge the wonderful support of our partners, Red Rooster, who like us are passionate about local communities and are rewarding our people through this initiative.” 

The winner of the National Community Club of the Year will be announced live on Channel 7’s Sunrise program on Tuesday 26th September.
