This weekend, over 170 women representing 16 clubs will take part in the 2015 USAFL National Championships in Austin.
They also represent numerous municipalities beyond those on their jumpers. They are from a diverse multitude of backgrounds, vocations, ethnicities, and creeds, but they are united by the love of Australian Rules football and the life changing benefits that it has yielded.
For the group taking part in Austin, however, they represent just how far the women’s game has come in the USA in just a decade.
