Over a decade ago, I fell in love with a sport that I had never heard of and happened to discover.
It was unlike anything that I knew but integrated all the traditional sports that I grew up playing. As a single mother and recent college graduate, joining the Arizona Hawks fulfilled my craving to be a part of a team. Alongside my sister (by choice, not birth), now my coach, I played my first game at the 2005 USAFL Nationals in the inaugural women's division.

I’ve only felt an earthquake once in my entire life.
It was August, 2011, and there was a 6.0-mag quake in Virginia that we felt all the way up in Philadelphia.
But while in Salem, Oregon two weekends ago for the Western Regional Tournament, I witnessed another one.

The USA Revolution’s journey to Melbourne and next year’s International Cup championship continues with a camp in Philadelphia next weekend. Dozens of prospective American players will make their way to the City of Brotherly Love, in search of being one of those selected by coach Tom Ellis and his staff as one of those to represent their country against some of the world’s best footy players.

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.

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.
