This October over 1,000 players, representing more than 30 clubs, will congregate in Austin, Texas for the largest footy carnival (tournament) in the world. This year players and spectators will have the opportunity to donate their used footy boots and give back to footy.

Players and clubs are reminded that the player registration fee will be increased this Monday, July 1 from $50 to $75. Additionally, this Sunday is the last opportunity for clubs to purchase pre-paid player memberships.

To earn qualification points for this year’s Nationals, all players must be registered in the LMS before playing their first game. Players will not be able to accrue points unless they are registered and paid for the current season. Read more about the League Management System here »
