Gindaymanha training kicks off this March!

Young people aged 9–15 can join free, beginner‑friendly sessions at parks across Albury. It’s a relaxed way to build skills, teamwork and confidence. Whether you’ve played before or you’re trying touch for the first time, everyone is welcome.

These after-school training sessions lead into the 10th Gindaymanha Sports Carnival on Wednesday 15 April, a big day of touch footy, teamwork and community connection during the April school holidays.

Gindaymanha is the Wiradjuri word for 'fair play', and that spirit shapes the whole program: fun, friendship and community on and off the field.
