About US

Welcome to Junior Touch Academy Whitsundays!
As a passionate local family with three young children, we are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of Touch Rugby players. With over 20 years of experience, including playing at a representative level in New Zealand, we’ve seen first hand the joy, resilience, and life skills this sport provides. After spending several years away from the game due to serious sporting injuries, I am proud to be back on the field playing representative Touch Rugby for the Northern Queensland Cyclones. This journey has deepened our appreciation for the sport and strengthened our commitment to giving back to the Touch Rugby community. Our mission is to share our knowledge and love for the game while fostering an inclusive, supportive environment where every child can grow, learn, and succeed. Touch Rugby promotes teamwork, fitness, and fun, encouraging a safe and active lifestyle for all. Join us at Junior Touch Academy Whitsundays, where we build strong foundations and inspire young athletes.
