The Saints Junior Muster is the first step in the 2025 junior representative cycle, where our younger players complete a series of "skills and drills" in order for our coaching team to get a first-hand look at our next touch footy stars!
The "muster" is compulsory for all junior representative players in the 12's and 14's age groups to attend (unless extenuating circumstances apply). Read on for more information.

OVERVIEW
The Saints Representative Programme is for ALL players in Townsville born in or between 2007 and 2014. If you want to play representative touch football in 2025 and beyond, then you'll need to be part of this exciting programme!
As part of the programme, ALL players (we'll be entering as many teams as possible!) will play at the 2025 NQ Junior State Cup North (JSCN) in April, and then be considered for selection to attend the 2025 QLD Junior State Cup (QJSC) in July.
------------
2025 REP EVENTS
To be able to play in these events in 2025, you'll need to be part of the Saints programme:
2025 NQ Junior State Cup North (JSCN)
Townsville, April 2025
2025 QLD Junior State Cup (QJSC)
Rockhampton, July 2025

PLAYER CLEARANCES (to play for another association)
Please note: As Saints is the official representative programme of Townsville Touch Football, we are unable to grant clearances (to play for another association) to TTF players who choose NOT to be part of the programme.
JSCN (April): This event is "automatic selection", so everyone in the Saints programme (regardless of skill level or team/club) will play in a Townsville Saints team at this event. In the rare circumstance where you're registered in the programme, but we cannot find you a team, we will happily grant you a clearance to play elsewhere, however we will always do our very best to make sure we have a team for everyone!
QJSC (July): We can only nominate two teams per division to the QJSC, so if you are part of the Saints programme and play at the JSCN in April, but then miss out on selection for QJSC then we'll happily give you a clearance to play for another association.

Under 12 & 14 MUSTER (Nov 2024)
The first step in the Saints programme is the SAINTS JUNIOR MUSTER, where our representative coaches will be putting all players to the test through a series of skills and drills!
SAINTS JUNIOR MUSTER (under 12's & 14's only)
Queens Park, North Ward
4pm-8pm, 9 November 2024
Muster will only be held this year for the Under 12 and Under 14 age groups, with Under 16 and Under 18 players joining the programme directly into squad training in early 2025.
All players will train from February through to April, with ALL players then playing at the 2025 NQ Junior State Cup North in April. Following the JSCN, the best performing players will be selected into sides for the 2025 QLD Junior State Cup (July) tour.
------------
ELIGIBILITY
If you're currently playing in a Townsville Touch Football / Townsville Junior Touch Football competition and were born in or between 2007 and 2014, then you've already qualified to play for Townsville as part of the Saints programme!
There's no need to find your own team or play in another competition because YOU'RE ALREADY IN!
PLUS, if you're a returning Saints player (and your uniform still fits!) then you won't even need to purchase any new gear!
