Touch Football WA state manager Warren Smiles said he was pleased to partner with the City of Wanneroo for the association’s biggest annual junior event.
“The venue has fantastic playing fields, plenty of parking, huge shade trees, playgrounds including Dinosaur Park and excellent facilities, and it’s located in the northern suburbs with quick access from the (Mitchell) Freeway and Wanneroo Road,” he said.
“We will have a huge affiliate marquee set up for all participants to make sure there’s somewhere to meet and rest in the shade.”
Mayor Tracey Roberts said the two-year agreement would give young players a platform to showcase their skills.
“Kingsway Regional Sporting Complex is a fantastic community facility and will be the perfect location to host TFWA’s biggest junior event,” she said.
“Our community will thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere and competition this year and next and I urge everyone to attend.”
