WELCOME to SUPERTOUCH - It's Touch....with a KICK !

Come and play our relaxed and friendly non-contact sport for Mens and Mixed teams, as well as individuals wishing to play. SuperTouch combines the best elements of touch and oztag into a more exciting game. Our kicking options make it more similar to the backyard or school yard touch we all grew up playing, (see rules below). It also avoids the body contact and finger injuries so common in oztag.
