This year we will see two significant football events come to Coffs Harbour in March alone. Firstly, we will welcome teams, players and supporters from the Touch Football Australia National Touch League. Next, we will host the Australian OzTag Sports Association’s largest NSW Senior tournament, the annual Senior State OzTag Championships. So, what are the key dates, directions, and ideas for things to do before packing your boots and balls and hitting the open road to the Coffs Coast?
