Women’s football, both in Australia and around the world, has taken some giant leaps in the last couple of years. It is not just a niche, but rather an astronomical pillar in the galaxy of Aussie Rules.
With the naming of their new head coach, another frontier has been crossed.
The USAFL Women’s Association is pleased to confirm that Christina Licata has been named the new head coach of the USA Freedom women’s national team. Licata becomes the fourth head coach in USA Freedom history and the first woman to hold the position.

Lo, for it is October. The tenth page on the calendar brings with it many things – among them chilly weather, crisp air, foliage, and unnecessarily early Christmas decorations. Seriously, I haven’t even bought my Halloween candy yet, what the heck?
Of more importance than all of that, October means that the National Championships of Australian Rules Football are upon us. A year of blood, sweat, tears, and the occasional beverage of tears have brought us to this point. To quote the immortal Ron Barrassi and probably a few others, “this is what you play for.”
