Wallsend Touch Football Junior Competition 2026

Junior touch returns mid-August — here's why your kids will love it

The Wallsend Wolves Junior Touch Football is back for another season, kicking off mid-August — and we couldn't be more excited to welcome new and returning players to the field.

Whether your child is 6 or 13, touch football is one of the best things they can get into. Here's why:

It builds real skills — on and off the field

Touch football develops agility, spatial awareness, and coordination from a young age. Because the game is fast-moving and non-contact, kids are constantly reading the field, making decisions, and communicating with teammates. Those are skills that transfer well beyond sport.

Social confidence and teamwork

Our junior competition is designed to be inclusive and fun first. Kids learn to work together, support each other, and build friendships in a low-pressure environment. Many of our senior players first pulled on a Wolves jersey in this very comp.

Fitness they actually enjoy

No drills that feel like punishment here. Touch football keeps kids moving, burning energy, and having a great time — all without them even realising how fit they're getting.

Junior comp starts mid-August. Cubs dates are coming soon — stay tuned. In the meantime, head to our website to register or reach out to us directly with any questions. We can't wait to see your kids on the field!
