South Australian Year 10 Students at the National Youth Touch Football Tournament
Five St Aloysius College students were recently selected for the SA Heat Touch Football Team to compete at the 2024 Door Dash National Youth Touch Football Championships held in Coffs Harbour. This national competition was attended by over 2000 players and officials where 120 teams from a mix of school, regional and state representative teams across eight boys and girls divisions from U12 to U18 competed to be crowned National Champions. It was the first time SA had entered an U16 team in this competition, so we are very proud of Alessia, Elle, Rosie and Ruby for being selected, and for Molly who represented the U18 team.
Unfortunately, due to some heavy rainfall, the competition was shortened after the first two days. Of the games completed the SA U18 team equalled their best ever finish and were confident in doing better (their next game was meant to be against Victoria).
At the SA Heat presentations at the end of the carnival, Year 10 student, Alessia, was awarded the coaches trophy for the U16 team.
A big thanks goes to Terry Rogers, Elle Roger’s dad, who was generous enough to volunteer to be the U16 team manager.
