FAQ’s

What is Australian Rules Football?

Aussie Rules, also known as “footy”, is a fast-paced game like no other. In short, it involves running the ball, punting, receiving, dribbling, tackling, and, of course, scoring. Oh, and you’ve been warned… this sport is addicting!

When does the season start and end?

In 2019, Training (practice) starts on Wednesday, May 1st and continues every Wednesday and Saturday through October 9th. The 2019 USAFL Nationals will be held October 12-13 in Sarasota Florida. Teams usually takes the month of July off from training, but maintaining your fitness during that time is essential. Check out the events page for an update on the Summer break dates.

Where do you play?

Trainings and our intra-club games (known as the Colorado League) are held at Washington Heights Park. Times of training/Colorado League games are:

Wednesday 6pm – 8pm
Saturday 930am – 1130am

We also play games around the country, typically traveling 3 – 4 times per year, with home games from visiting teams 2 – 3 times per year.

What are training/practices like?

Expect two hours of solid running, skill work, drills, and scrimmages. We absolutely love welcoming new players who want to come and try out the sport.
