The new touch football season is little more than a month away and will see more than 1000 players strut their stuff at Prospect Park on a weekly basis.

Team nominations have opened ahead of the first round on September 30, with five divisions of men's and women's competitions on offer plus mixed categories.

A newer trend is also expected to see growth in the 2019-20 season.

"We do have a few workplaces playing together," Launceston Touch Association general manager Patty Bessell said.

"A couple of professional firms, even a fast food restaurant have had a team in the last series or two so that's been pretty cool to see that expand and we'd love to see more corporates go head to head in that kind of space."

The LTA's junior competition will kick off on October 17 following school holidays, with all finals to be played in February concluding with grand finals on the first weekend in March.

The North will also host the state championships in Feburary, where it will look to secure a seventh-straight state cup.

Bessell encouraged any teams or individuals interested in taking up or returning to touch football to get in touch via the club's Facebook page.

"We cater for all walks," Bessell said.

"Last season we had players from eight years old to 64 years old and everything in between, and we've got competition from that social level to competitive level and representative level, so we can really cater for young and old.

"We've got footy teams that stay together over the summer, netball teams, soccer teams so it can combine quite nicely in touch footy."
