AFL 9s - Mixed Football Competition
AFL 9s is starting up in Alice Springs on February 1st going through to March 28th. It is a mixed competition so Women and Men are allowed to play. 9 players are allowed on the field, with 3 of those players being women.
AFL 9s is a non contact sport. Tags are worn and if an opposition player pulls a tag off, it is deemed holding the ball. The field is split up into 3 zones; Forwards, Midfield and Backline. After every goal is kicked and the ball starts in the middle, each zone must have 3 players in them. Forwards wear an armband to be distinguishable from the rest of the team; these 3 forwards are the only people to kick goals. If a female kicks a goal it is worth 9 points.
Games will be played at Centralian Middle School on Wednesday Nights from 5:30pm - 7:30pm.
