Touch Football is one of the sports that can be delivered as part of Sport Australia's Sporting Schools program. It's one of the most popular sports in schools because it's easy to learn, boys and girls of all ages can play together and it comes with a low risk of injury because there's no tackling. Touch Football Australia works with primary and secondary schools around Australia to deliver Touch Football.
