Teacher Ambassador Program

Program Purpose

The Teacher Ambassador Program is designed to support teachers who are delivering, or are interested in delivering, touch football in their school. Through the program, ambassadors stay informed about new initiatives, competitions, professional learning opportunities and participation programs happening across Australia.

By building a direct link between schools and TFA, the program helps ensure touch football remains accessible, engaging and easy to deliver in school environments.

Support and Benefits

Teacher Ambassadors receive access to a range of benefits designed to support both individual teachers and their wider school community, including:

• Access to teaching resources and program support
• Invitations to workshops and webinars
• Updates on competitions, programs and participation opportunities
• Opportunities to win prizes, funding and unique touch football experiences

Impact in Schools

Touch football is a flexible, inclusive sport that can be delivered across year levels and ability groups. Through the Teacher Ambassador Program, schools are supported to:

• Increase student participation in physical activity
• Promote teamwork, inclusion and well-being
• Strengthen links with the local sporting community

The program encourages sustainable delivery by empowering teachers with the tools and support they need

School Involvement

Schools are encouraged to have multiple Teacher Ambassadors involved in the program. Having more than one ambassador helps share responsibility across staff, create more opportunities for students and strengthen the overall delivery of touch football within the school.

Whether a school is already running touch football programs or exploring new ways to engage students in physical activity, the Teacher Ambassador Program provides ongoing support and connection.
