The final weekend before Memorial Day is here, and a thrilling month of May concludes with two more tournaments, an two exciting full-game matchups, and preparations for the Parallel Cup from the national women’s team.

Here’s a quick look at what’s on tap for the weekend:

What's On Tap: Mother's Day Round

It's Mother's Day weekend, and on Sunday we'll all celebrate our mums.  But before that, the first of two big weekends before the Memorial Day break will unfold.  Three regional events that should make for a fantastic day out in Richmond, Hamilton, and Los Angeles.

Here's a look at what's on tap:

AFL Canada Cup (women’s)
Saturday/Sunday from 9am EDT – Mohawk Sports Park, Hamilton, ON

What's On Tap: May 6, 2023

As we head into May and more teams start to stir out of their slumber, we have three matches on the docket here featuring some old school rivalries.  Each of the teams here were founded at the end of the 1990s, and continue to write the legendary battles between them.  Our friends in Canada also have a tournament happening in Ottawa as we prepare to welcome our friends from La Belle Province down to Florida for Nationals in October.


St Louis Blues (0-0) vs Kansas City Power (0-2)

What's On Tap: Anzac Day Round 2023

After weeks of training, shaking of the dust and rust of the off season, and staying warm for a run, the time has come to kickstart the 2023 USAFL Season.

And what way to do it than around a time that is traditionally surrounded by Aussie Rules Football.

ANZAC Day is a solemn commemoration of those who served their country.  The sport is played overseas on the day between soldiers and veterans as a celebration of the Australian culture.

The weather is getting warmer, and that must mean footy season is hotting up with it.

It’s the final weekend before Memorial Day, and the last before the USAFL Regional Tournament Series kicks off in Philadelphia in two weeks’ time.  A month’s worth of full season football is now arrears, and as a heatwave comes to the west coast and the mercury goes up, so doe the Aussie Rules action here in the USAFL.

Sport Saved My Life Twice: The Story of Shawn Sadowski

The first time was Australian Rules Football and the second was Wheelchair Curling.

Meet Shawn “Boomer” Sadowski. Boomer found footy when he was 19. He was a troubled youth and footy kept him off the street and gave him his first group of mates. In 2014 Boom was in a car accident and woke up to find himself a paraplegic. His home therapist introduced him to the Olympic Curling Coach and after his first curl he “was hooked”. He had found his second group of mates.

What's On Tap - September 18, 2021

Well well well, here we are a month out from Nationals.  Teams are making different plans for Austin in October, and for those who are going and going in numbers, the chances to get in those crucial hitouts before playing for Nationals titles are getting fewer and fewer.

But it's another packed weekend, and the last big one before the seedings are announced at the end of the month.  And we have all sorts of good stuff going on from coast to coast, including a big women's tournament in Denver; one of two events happening in that city on Saturday.

Here is what's on tap:

What's on Tap: July 31, 2021

The month of July has been filled to the brim with matches every week, and the last weekend will be no exception.  We're in four cities this week: DC, Savannah, Des Moines, and Austin.  It's the last weekend before the Summer Series kicks off, and everyone will be getting that last run in, both in games and locally.

Here's what's on tap for the Saturday:


Baltimore Dockers (1-1) and Philadelphia Hawks (0-1) at DC Eagles (1-0)
DC Lady Eagles (1-0) vs Philadelphia Lady Hawks (0-1)

What's On Tap: July 24, 2021

Another week, another loaded schedule of games as we go traipsing through the Bounce Back summer of USAFL football.

This new Saturday dawns with four events; a battle in a battleground state, a three-way tussle not terribly far from the mighty MIssissip’, a showdown between two teams separated by a lot of desert, and debutante standing up against a historical Goliath in the women’s game.

Here is what’s on tap for Saturday, July 24th.


Boston Demons (0-0) vs Maine Cats (0-0)
10am EDT - Griffin Park, Windham, NH
