People from all over New Zealand are now getting together with the friends, family and colleagues to take to the Turbo Touch™ field or court. As a cross-training option for Netball, Rugby, Rugby League, Hockey, Soccer, Basketball and Touch it’s the perfect social sport to keep you active and on-game. It’s not just for experienced sportspeople though, even if you don’t know a touchline from a centre circle, Turbo Touch™ is easy to pick up but impossible to stop. Turbo Touch™ was developed by Touch New Zealand in association with Ike Tapine Wilson and George Albert Jahnke, two Touch players who wanted to create a sport that could be played all year, indoor and out, that a wide range of people could enjoy. It launched in Wellington in 2009, with competitions in Auckland, Hamilton, Hawkes Bay, Christchurch and Whangarei close behind. Kids have taken to Turbo Touch™ with a massive enthusiasm and we have also launched a Teachers Training Program to assist in getting the games into schools. OurTurbo Touch™ team has been travelling around the country to take the game to as many kids as possible and soon we will be co-ordinating and running interschool competitions in Provinces and eventually holding National Championships in various age grades.
