Coaches play a vital role in Touch Football, fostering the development of sports people both on and off the field.

The job of a coach is primarily to help athletes increase their level of performance, and assist teams in competing to a higher standard. However a sports coach is often much more than that. How often do you hear sportsmen or women talking about the lifelong impact a certain coach has had on them, not just in making them better athletes, but improving their life skills?

Coaching can be a very rewarding experience.

Southern Touch boast one of the most qualified affiliates within our state in regards to official certifications. If you want to be a coach, at Southern Touch you will be joining a family of dedicated and supportive coaches who can guide and assist.
