Jul 14, 2016 Oregon Trail -- Previewing the USAFL Western Regional Before its name was changed to Salem in 1850 by politician William H. Williams, Oregon’s capital was known as Chimikiti, a word from the Kalapuya language meaning “meeting place”. Nestled in the WIlliamette Valley region, Salem provides one of the most picturesque backdrops to just about anything. It is appropriate, therefore, that some of the best teams in the USAFL make Salem their “chimikiti” for 2016, bringing together teams building towards the future, and towards a championship.

Jul 7, 2016 Dragons, Houston, Dees, Eagles Move Up in Poll #4 The winds of winter are being felt in Australia, while the heat of summer is broiling the great meadows of the American continent. The winds of change on the USAFL Top 20 poll, however, weren’t much of a gust so much as they were a gentle breeze, not unlike the Fremantle Doctor cooling down the West Coast. There weren’t many games played in voting round four, but the ripples from a great day in Yonkers were felt up and down the ladder, helping even teams who didn’t even take to the field. Read more » |

Jul 5, 2016 Double Wing Formation: Magpies, Eagles Kings of East There is a cliché about cream rising to the top in big events. On a hot day in Yonkers, New York, the crème was curdled by 90 degree temperatures, but it still rose, steadily, mightily, and with authority.

In all, there were two separate competitions: an 18-a-side match and a 12-a-side round robin on Saturday, followed by the USA Freedom Training Camp on Sunday morning. Not only were 50 or so women assembled at Tibbetts Brook Park competing for club pride, but many were playing for a chance at the national team ahead of next year’s International Cup in Melbourne.

Jun 23, 2016 Lost in Yonkers: Previewing the Eastern Regional “In New York; Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, There's nothing you can't do / Now you're in New York; These streets will make you feel brand new, Big lights will inspire you.” – Jay-Z, Empire State of Mind. New Yorkers will tell you that their city is the center of the universe. With 9,000,000 people, a culture, language and life of its own, they’re probably right.

Jun 21, 2016 Crows, Lonestars, Kangroos Blow Away Centrals Field The wind is a fickle thing. It kicks up at unexpected times, it varies in strength and direction at its own whim, and sometimes it can completely change the course of where you’re going. A strong wind greeted the over 200 combatants that gathered at the Indianapolis World Sports Park on June 11th for the 2016 USAFL Central Regional Tournament.
