A Happy New Year to All!

2007 ushers in the start of the 10th Anniversary of the USAFL. This is a huge milestone for an organisation which started with just a few determined lovers of Aussie Rules who decided to introduce this great sport to the United States.  We have made huge steps in that time and we hope you will join us as we continue our goal of pursuing the development of Australian Football in this country.    

Perhaps this will be the year that you decide to leave your mark on the sport; there are so many ways that you can be involved. All our programs are growing  - Junior Footy, College Footy, Women's Footy, Metro and League Footy.  We now have an Australian Advisory Board as well as a US Advisory Committee; our new Men's National Coach has been announced and we have our first ever Women's National Coach.  The League is truly surging ahead and we welcome your encouragement and support as we enter our 10th year.  If you would like some ideas on how your skills and enthusiasm can be drawn on contact the office at officemanager@usfooty.com for some suggestions.

This is an opportune time to draw attention to the Mission of the United States Australian Football League. It is:

“We are an amateur sports organization dedicated to the development of Australian Football.  We are a grassroots organization that promotes participation in Australian football through promoting awareness and knowledge of the Australian culture, by promoting a sense of community among USAFL clubs and club members, and by fostering women’s and junior programs across the United States.

The USAFL promotes participation by emphasizing awareness and a sense of community within its members, by setting standards by which member clubs agree to abide and by fostering youth programs across the United States.

We are the sole representatives of Australian football in the international arena.”

We wish you all a happy, healthy and safe 2007.
