Two more significant steps were taken toward developing Juniors Australian Football in the Southwest on the two days preceding the 2002 USAFL Administrators Conference in Phoenix, April 11th and 12th. The Phoenix Scorpions and the AZAFL were lucky enough to have the ever entertaining and energetic Junior Development Director for North America, Greg Everett in town from Toronto to help out with some Juniors Clinics at local Valley schools.

The USAFL is proud to announce the Grand Opening of USFootyStore.com. The store has been under construction for some time now.

The USAFL and Acclaim Entertainment are excited to announce that they have just signed a deal to sell Kevin Sheedys Coach 2002 PC in the United States. According to Acclaims Gavin Rundle, We see the alignment with the USAFL as a valuable arm to the promotion of AFL and AFL interactive products into the non-traditional markets outside Australia and New Zealand. The USAFL will be selling Coach 2002 for $40 on http://www.usfootystore.com, and making the product available to USAFL clubs and other distributors at wholesale prices.

Ah, at last. Grand Final weekend for the Arizona Australian Football League
arrived amid great fanfare for the anxious throngs of Aussie Rules
supporters and players. The seasoned Scottsdale Dingos having secured the
final berth in last round of AZAFL play appeared anxious and prepared to
take on the owners of the leagues best record, the Chandler Outlaws in this
years granny on the lush fields of the Scottsdale Community College
football stadium.

But hey, wait a moment. We had a curtain raiser to play first!
