More than 30 teams, equating to 330 players, are vying for crowns in the 8s and under, 9-10 years, 11-12 years, 13-15 years and 17 years’ age divisions in both boys and girls.

Training will begin soon for the association’s representative sides, too, with the pinnacle being the 2018 NSW Touch Junior State Cup at Port Macquarie from Friday to Sunday, February 16-18. 

Meanwhile, the women’s and mixed seasons have also kicked off at the same venue.
