Premier Touch is bringing its social touch football competition to Nudgee, offering residents a new way to stay active and engage with the community. The organisation is now accepting team nominations for its upcoming season, set to kick off on August 5th at the recently constructed Nudgee Recreation Reserve.
This expansion marks Premier Touch’s first full season at the Nudgee venue, following a 7-week mini-competition held earlier this year which saw participation from five teams. The new location aims to fill a gap in social sports offerings in the area, with the next closest option being in Wavell Heights.
The competitions are designed for ages 14 and up, providing an opportunity for locals to keep fit while having fun. The upcoming season will run for 13 weeks, including 11 regular rounds and two rounds of finals. Teams can consist of mixed genders, with competitions held on Monday evenings.
Premier Touch has a long-standing history in Brisbane, having organised social touch football competitions since the 1980s. The organisation currently operates across six venues in the city, including Bardon, Bellbowrie, Fairfield, Mt Gravatt, and West End, in addition to the new Nudgee location. Over 80 teams participate across these venues in a season.
Early bird nominations, which close on July 8th, offer a $100 discount on the full competition fee of $950. Teams registering early will pay $850, which works out to approximately $77 per player for a team of 11.
For teams looking to participate from the start of the season, nominations must be submitted by August 1st to be included in the draw for Round 1. However, Premier City Touch welcomes late nominations throughout the season. Those who miss the initial deadline can still register, and the organisation will assist with late entry arrangements.
For those interested in participating, team nominations can be submitted through the Premier Touch website at premiercitytouch.com.au. The organisation welcomes players of all skill levels and encourages anyone looking for a way to stay active and connect with others in the community to get involved.
