Women Play Too
We welcome all women to try Aussie Rules football activities as well. Be challenged to grow mind and body with other women doing the same via a new sport that is a ton of fun, whilst developing great friendships.
In footy at practice and in games activities include, running/jogging, coordination skills, stretching, hand-eye skill development like catching and kicking the Aussie Footballs at practice and in mini games.
All training sessions are catered for all activity levels and women and men practice together every night.
So even if you haven't been a sports woman before there is still much you can gain from joining in this different sport.
The best part also for many of our participants are the friendships that are forged and the encouragement players pass on to each other during practices and games.
It just a fun and unique thing to be a part of here in Rome GA.
Games here in the USA are of amateur status, however, the skills and rules seen in the video are exactly the same as here in the USA. Only slight modifications to field sizes and team sizes take place in travel team games of the USAFL of which the Redbacks are a member club.
