In line with Touch Football Australiaâ€−s edict to assist in the international development of the Sport, TFA National Coaching Director, Dennis Coffey, has recently undertaken a coaching development tour of Europe.

Whilst in Europe, 'DC', as he is commonly known, conducted a series of coaching courses in Germany, France, England and Scotland, with participants from these not only these nations, but also Belgium, Ireland, Wales, and Guernsey all attending. Over 100 new coaches received accreditation. Participants included the likes of current elite players and Presidents of the National Associations, such as France's Erick Acker (pictured far right).

The courses will greatly assist in the development of coaches in these European Countries, which will further lead to the development of skills and the game overall.
