National Tournament Report

Entering the hotel Westin, I was greeted with the loud and boisterous laughter I have come to recognize as footy related. The thumping of a football on the marble floor in the vast and elegant lobby may have sounded out of place to some (namely the nervous manager), however I knew I was undoubtedly in the right place. I managed to pick out a dozen or so of my footy mates I've come to know over the past 3 years.

Yep, this was going to be an unforgettable weekend.

2002 Coopers National Championships

Remaining scores and an official press release will be posted soon, however in what was a great weekend of footy, Denver ran out comfortable winners over San Diego in the Division 1 final, 8-1-49 to 0-2-2. Division 2 was taken out by Orange County over Santa Cruz while Philadelphia was too strong for Milwaukee in the Division 3 final.

Under 23 Revolution

LeHigh Valley Crocs' Head Coach, Rob Giabardo, has been named Head Coach of the U23 Revolution team to attend the Arafura Games in Darwin next May. The selection committee of Denis Ryan (Revolution Head Coach), Scott Nicholas (Revolution Assistant Coach) and Seth McElvaney (SEAFL President), had a very difficult choice, with four qualified nominees, 3 of whom are current USAFL head coaches. However, the committee felt Rob was the best person for the job. Paul OKeeffe stepped down from the committee because Milwaukees Head Coach, Colin Langley, was one of the applicants.

Nationals Pools

The USAFL National Tournament Committee is pleased to announce this year's National Tournament pools. As you can imagine, this is a difficult task given the geographical disparity of the teams. 2002 is the first year that we have a third division due to the growth of the tournament to 24 teams. This compounded the committee's difficult task.
