North Queensland Touch Football (NQTF) established the Hurricanes program for youth referees in 2011, with the purpose of fostering and developing youth referees that have the commitment and interest in refereeing touch football at an elite level.
The program has created a structured pathway to foster and develop strong youth referees across North Queensland by providing access to specific one-on-one coaching opportunities, financial assistance and access to specific development resources targeted at youth officials.
Townsville-based Hurricanes members Lachlan Carey and Makenzie Weier have taken the 2019 North Queensland Championships by storm, both achieving accreditation upgrades at the weekend's event.
Two of our newest members are already showing the rest of QLD they're ones to watch.
A big congratulations to Hailey Graham who has been selected in the NQ Hurricanes junior referee development squad.
All of the hard work and determination has paid off for five of our Hurricanes members as they received their level upgrades at the recent NQ Open & Senior Regional Touch Football Championships.
