After six months of travelling the world and spreading the word about footy and the upcoming International Cup as the AFL's International Ambassador, Brett Kirk has returned home to Sydney. As part of his journey he visited several USAFL clubs and conducted various coaching, umpiring and training sessions including New York, Boston, Denver, Arizona and Los Angeles. He is now taking time to share his experiences as he continues to promote the International Cup. In an interview with the AFL when asked where, of the places he spent time, he thought Australian Football had real potential, Kirk made the following comments.
As proud supporters of the Movember Foundation, the USAFL is pleased to announce some exciting developments in the fight against prostate cancer. Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of the USAFL and Movember communities, scientists, for the first time, have constructed a complete genetic map of prostate cancer. This historic development will expand the understanding of how the disease works, leading to improved and more personalized treatment for every man diagnosed.
Fairfield, OH - In the sweltering Cincinnati heat, up against MAAFL foes, and with a chip on their shoulders - the blokes from Columbus traveled strong and came down with something to prove. The first match pitted them against the Milwaukee Bombers who had traveled light, and were further hurt when a player needed medical attention after a bee sting alergic reaction. Reserves and newcomers from Ohio Valley and Columbus admirably plugged the gaps to give them a spirited fighting squad on the pitch.
This weekend marks the return of Australian Football to Los Angeles, with the Los Angeles Dragons taking on the San Diego Lions on Saturday at Balboa Park in Encino. The recently formed Dragons have grown out of the desire and demand for a primarily LA based 18a-side team, with upwards of 40 players expressing their interest and commitment to the establishment of the Dragons. 
The USAFL develops Aussie Rules in the USA not just by promoting playing of the sport across the country - it actively promotes umpire accreditation too. Umpiring? Yes! After all, you can't have a game without umpires. From early on, promotion of umpires has been a priority, with hosting of umpire clinics as early as 2000 and the USA was the first ever country to send an umpire to the International Cup in 2002.Pages
