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.
