Tully Flames Junior Football Club offers children the opportunity to learn the game of soccer and all aspects of it from an early age. Our Under 5 Squirts learn to have football fun with basic skills at our weekly training and our Under 6 and up to Under 16 we teach core skills at weekly training sessions and play season competition against other clubs in the region on Saturday afternoons in Silkwood as part of the Johnstone River Football Association. Teams and players have the opportunity to represent the region in representative teams and occasionally travel to other clubs in North Queensland to attend soccer carnivals.

The Tigers Leagues Club opened its doors in December 2003, and was not only an instant success with the locals but has seen its clientele grow as well. Prior to this the RSL (Returned Servicemen’s League) had operated a club at this location at Bryant Street, Tully. Much of the general community was sad to see the decline in patronage of the RSL and it eventually closed in 2002. In mid 2003, nine Tully community members got together with the aim of revitalising the club, offering the local community a social clubhouse which also supported 13 local sporting groups. These men invested their own money to provide the capital that would enable them to open the new clubhouse and they formed the board of directors. Those men were: Craig Tietzel, Barry Barnes, Peter Lucy, Stephen Valeriano, Matthew Clifford, John Clifford, Erik Haack, Ernie Riethmuller and Neil Blennerhassett.
