USFooty Celebrates

This October USFooty celebrated its fifth anniversary. It has been an amazing journey. One in which we have made strides on a monthly basis and achieved some staggering milestones, such as the Revolution trip to Australia and over 230 games played in 2002 alone.

Many people have invested countless hours into the growth of the sport, at both the league and club level.

Given we are a club based organization this seemed an appropriate time to recognize those individuals that have founded the various clubs over the years. These people will be forever remembered as the pioneers of Aussie footy in America.

Many of the people listed have since returned to Australia, but we can celebrate the legacy they have left behind.

I hope that every USFooty player will seek out the founder of their club and give them a very personal "Thanks, mate", for without their foresight, energy, time, craziness, and commitment you would not be playing this great sport.

And, a sincere thank you, from me. Without your efforts the league would not have flourished over the years.
