Field Layouts

Is Touch the same as Tag?

No, there’s no ‘tag’ in Touch Football! You don’t need any specific types of shorts to play like you do in a tag game. 

Do you have to be fit to play Touch?

Nope, Touch Football at park level is a social sport. And there’s a reason it’s Australia’s largest social sport, with 700,000 people around the country taking part – everyone can play, no matter your age or size. It’s just about finding a social team that suits you.

What is Mixed Touch?

Many Touch Football clubs around the country offer ‘Mixed’ competitions, which means males and females can play in teams together. Depending on the age criteria set by the club, this means whole families (kids, parents, grandparents) can event play together. Even at the most elite end of the sport, there are Mixed as well as Men’s and Women’s divisions.

Referee

Duty Referees

Muswellbrook Touch Association from time to time may have to utilise a Duty team Referee system. Where possible we will allocate a permanent referee first. When we are short we urge all teams to check the draw carefully to see if your team is down to referee before or after your respective game.

All referees please report to the desk at least 15 minutes prior to your game. Some of you will be buddy refereeing which means we do not want 2 of you on the field at once, you must interchange.  We will explain when you report, including any specific rules for our competition.

Referee Uniform

If you are a DUTY TEAM Referee please wear your own t shirt and shorts as you will be supplied with a referee vest for your game. Please wear football boots or similar to referee in.

Remember your whistle and water bottle.
