Junior representative is filled with a load of fun and competitive touch footy played against affiliates from across the state.
Players will be coached by some of our best Coaches while forming terrific friendships across our Redlands Touch community. Most importantly, each player will experience growth in their fitness, skill level and overall development.
As this is representative level competition, players MUST be able to commit to attending regular training sessions and all carnivals. While we focus on building a positive and fun team environment centred around our players, team training and carnival experience is essential to success and therefore attendance is compulsory.
Our junior representative season culminates at the Junior State Cup where 230+ affiliate teams from across the state compete over three days of sensational touch footy. The 2025 Junior State Cup will be held in Rockhampton.
