About Our Club
About Us
From our humble beginnings as a touch football club for students of the University of New South Wales, the UNSW South Sydney Rabbitohs Touch Football Club has evolved into a family club servicing the South Eastern Sydney community. We are proud to be uniquely positioned as one of the few touch football clubs in the country to be associated with two of Australia’s most recognisable brands.
The UNSW South Sydney Rabbitohs Touch Football Club provides opportunities for all ages and abilities, from our junior and adult social competitions to our junior and senior representative programs.
Our Values
We pride ourselves on our club being a family. Many of our players joined the club through participating in university games and have continued to play at a representative level for a number of years. We welcome and embrace players of all ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience with open arms.
Our representative teams balance hard work and training with fun, teamwork and club focused social and bonding events which have resulted in success. We strongly encourage supporting all of our teams, with our players attending games early and staying late to watch other teams in the club each week.
