Welcome to the Web - The Rome Redbacks
If you’re up for a challenge or just a bit of fun, you've come to the right place. Getting involved in Aussie Rules Football whether social games, local games or in full scale travel team games, is one of the best decisions you will ever make.
With elements of 6 or 7 other sports it can be a game of endurance and skill but always a game where teamwork counts. Watch the intro video to see how the full game is played in Australia and come down and learn some of the skills that make this game so unique and so much fun.
The Rome Redbacks allow for everyone to get involved, men, women, kids and families. It is also a game of inclusion, no matter your background or experience, there is a place for you with the Rome Redbacks.
We also have a great time doing what we do. Make new friends, have a laugh, bring the family and play a game together. We got you covered.
The action you see here in this introductory video to Aussie Rules is from Australia itself and how the game is played at the elite level by 18 teams spread across the wide expanses of Australia.
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.
