American Flag Football
American Flag Football is expanding and a Wednesday league at the University of Canberra is starting soon.
American Flag Football is a small sport that has just been added to the Olympics and Gridiron Australia wants to get some younger groups involved in the hope of making a competitive national team by the 2028 LA Olympics.
Students can enter an entire team of 7-10 (any gender identification and skill level) into the competition or individuals can be listed as free agents and will be added to a pre-existing team.
When: Round 1 commences Wednesday 21 February from 6:30 pm*
Where: University of Canberra Oval 5A
What do I need: Football boots or runners, comfortable athletic clothes (your team will likely nominate to wear black or white T-shirts), a water bottle
Cost: $35 for UC Students, $50 for non-students (for 8-round competition)
