The team at Allsports Physiotherapy Wellington Point are experienced at providing care to young athletes and know how to get them back playing the sport they love, safely and quickly. That is why we have chosen them as our preferred physiotherapists.
We are fortunate to have the support of their physio team for exclusive use of our Redlands Touch athletes at the two largest junior representative carnivals, the Arthur Davis Cup and Junior State Cup.
Their generous support extends to providing a 10% discount to all Redlands Touch Association players and coaching staff.
We ask that you carefully review the details below to ensure you have all the important information about our 2024 junior representative program.
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. Queensland Touch Football has chosen Redlands Touch Association as the host venue for the 2024 Junior State Cup. It will be big and is set to be the best ever JSC!

Parent Volunteers
Since our inception in 1978, Redlands Touch Association has been not for profit and volunteer led.
Our success will continue with your support. One parent per junior representative player will be required to volunteer at an event. You will be working alongside our accomplished volunteer team and be provided with all of the support required to enjoy your role.
Volunteering involves a small amount of time assisting on the barbeque, in the canteen or marshalling at the carpark during one of our two major events – our Redlands Arthur Davis Cup junior representative carnival on May 19, or the Queensland Primary All Schools Championships on November 1, 2 or 3.
Volunteer rosters will be released during our junior representative season.
Player Levy and Carnival Fees
REDLANDS TOUCH: The junior representative player levy is $345 and will include all registration fees associated with the three compulsory SQBD carnivals at Gold Coast, Palm Beach and Redlands.
Upon teams being announced, a non-refundable deposit of $50 is required. The $295 balance of the player levy must be paid by direct bank transfer (not cash) and will be due prior to April 2.
UNIFORM: If a player requires a uniform, this will be additional and approximately $90.
OPTIONAL CARNIVALS: Player registration fees to attend other carnivals such as the Toowoomba Twisters Cup and Ipswich Falcons Cup is approximately $30. Attendance at these carnivals will be at the direction of each team coach.
JUNIOR STATE CUP: The player registration fee for junior state cup is payable to Queensland Touch Football and is $85 with payment due in May.
Green and White Teams: The player levy includes three carnivals, Redlands, Gold Coast and Palm Beach. Our Red, Green and White teams will play at all three carnivals. Due to capacity limitations, there is no guarantee that White teams will be accepted to the Junior State Cup. We will work with Qld Touch Football to establish as early as possible if White teams can be accommodated (albeit final confirmation is not expected until closer to JSC).
