Mitcham Primary School participates in Term 1 and 4 in the Summer Touch Football Junior Competition season.

TOUCH FOOTBALL COORDINATOR
Michelle Gabrisch - Email: michelle.gabrisch115@schools.sa.edu.au
- If your child is injured or unwell and cannot participate in the sport at any time, please contact the Sports Coordinator ASAP, and notify your child’s coach and team manager.
COACHES & TEAM MANAGERS
Each team requires a coach and a team manager, usually a volunteer parent. Please consider volunteering for one of these positions. If a team does not have a coach or team manager that team will not be able to participate in the cricket season.*
Subject to availability a coach may be outsourced. If this occurs, an additional coach's fee will be payable at the end of the term. This comes at a cost of $15 for each coached session and $10 for each game on the weekend.
TEAM SIZES & PLAYERS
Please ensure that all forms are returned prior to the due date. This not only helps ensure your child has a place on a team but also provides the coordinator time to ensure team sizes are not too large and allows more game time for your child. There will be no preferences to placement; this is a great way to learn invaluable teamwork skills and meet new people.
