Women switch it up

A touch football program for women is making its way to Deer Park.

Switch, an initiative of NRL Touch Football and VicHealth, aims to improve health and well-being of Victorian women through social sport.

Touch Football Victoria state programs coordinator Tarryn McDowall said it’s a great way to boost confidence and learn something new.

“Over six weeks, participants will build on the fitness and skills to boost confidence and strengthen women in touch football,” she said.

“Our programs are conveniently hosted by a number of Touch Football clubs across Victoria which allows participants to easily connect in with their respective Touch Football community.

“The programming is constantly changing and accommodating to all fitness and skill levels, making it a great alternative to the conventional boot camp.”

She said Switch focuses on the fun and social benefits of touch football.

“Current feedback from the program is very positive having large numbers either returning for more programs or joining their local touch football club,” Ms McDowall said.

This is due to the personal touch our coaches make with every participant.

All skills and fitness levels welcome with registration costing $30 for the whole 6 weeks.
