Juniors representative touch
Rep Members : All 2026 rep information can be found on our Stack Team App
Junior Representative Touch is packed with fast-paced, competitive footy and plenty of fun, as teams go head-to-head with affiliates from across the state.
Players will be coached by some of our top coaches while building strong friendships within the Northern Gold Coast Touch community. Along the way, players will grow their fitness, sharpen their skills, and develop both on and off the field.
As this is a representative-level program, players must be able to commit to regular training sessions and attend all carnivals. We pride ourselves on creating a positive, player-focused team environment, but consistent training and carnival participation are essential to team success — attendance is compulsory.
The representative campaign wraps up in spectacular fashion at the Qld Junior State Cup, where more than 260 affiliate teams from across the state descend on the Redlands Touch fields from 9–11 July. Across three action-packed days, players will compete in an unforgettable celebration of fantastic junior touch football.
