Touch Football Australia (TFA) has partnered with etrainu (ETU) to deliver a Learning Management System (LMS) which we have officially branded as ‘The Nest’.
For the first time as a sport, The Nest will give TFA the ability to talk to our accredited volunteers and target ongoing education opportunities to our membership. This system will let us streamline administrative processes for our course Facilitators and Referee Coaches across the country, allowing us greater reach than ever before. TFA intends for The Nest to be a hub where all members of our sport go to develop their knowledge of the game. This platform will also provide a whole-of-sport education profile.

respect for referees
Refereeing can be one of the most rewarding parts in sport. Referees are crucial to the game of Touch Football, and are rewarded accordingly, as refereeing at your local affiliate can often become another stream of income.
Touch Football Australia places a significant focus on ensuring the sport is free of abuse and harassment for all participants, particularly for referees given the difficult role they sometimes face.
A number of frameworks have been implemented to ensure this for all referees, including a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to abuse and harassment of officials endorsed by the TFA Board of Management.
