Spring AFLS Social Coed Games Scoring Frenzy

Social Sport Atlanta - AFLSIt does seem with some players having 15-20 of these Atlanta Social Football games under their belt now, the scores are getting higher. Week 1 of the Spring AFLS season saw the Grey Ghosts score over 100 points in 4x10 minute quarters and this past week the Green O'Paddys went close to topping 100 points as well.

The AFLS game is designed actually to be high scoring, so lots of fun, so we are hopefully doing it right for social sport in Atlanta. The field being just 80 yards in length and about 60 yards across, allows the coed teams to move the ball quickly down the field to score, but still needs several clean possessions to make it all happen. With the softer and harder to maybe control Sherrin Rising Star Football when kicking for goal, it does not always mean goals are easy.

So if you are looking to for a different coed sport in Atlanta this game could be for you. First game is free to try with no obligations and we even accept drop in games if a pickup sport is what you are interested in here in Atlanta. We hope to see you out there soon playing AFLS - Social Aussie Rules Football.

1st AFLS Season = Social Aussie Rules Success

AFLS Atlanta sportsThe first AFLS season here in Atlanta was a huge success no matter which way you look at it. Taking on the challenge to open up our game of Aussie Rules Football to as many people as possible, for a continual Social Co-ed league, the Kookaburras designed and organized AFLS season 1 after taking input from many areas.

The AFLS game no tackle version of the game, named after the Australian Football League and the Social component of the game, was trialed in Atlanta over 5 weekends from November to January. The Kookaburras took on much of the advice, comments and Ausball rules ratified by other team leaders around the USAFL, mainly from Baltimore and Sacramento. The Kookaburras would like to thank those who's advice contributed to our success.

Finding a field were we could play 2 games simultaneously was a huge win, enabling four teams to play concurrent games, a streamlined set up, organization and later socializing aspect, was a big win.

Through the trial games and Season 1 there have been 50 players take part in the AFLS games so far, with more than half getting a taste of Aussie Rules football for the first time, in a friendly social setting. With the finals of Season 1 to occur on April 14th after a short Easter break, Season 2 will roll out on May 5th with a "Come and Try Free" day. If you want to get active, meet some great new people, AFLS is the game for you. Our participants ranged from 20 years old to 60 years young, proving that it really is a game for everyone.

Cindy Batten Shows AFLS Truly is For Everyone

CindyJust maybe to prove that anyone can play AFLS, Social Aussie Rules Football, one of our debut players on Saturday was Cindy Batten. Cindy recently celebrated her 60th birthday. As many might be aware she has followed her Atlanta Kookaburra's Life Member husband Jim, around the USA many times to watch him play and umpire Aussie Rules Football for the Kookaburras over the past 14 years or so.

Cindy is no couch potato either, as an avid and competitive tennis player and her work caring for dozens of pets daily, ensures that exercise is part of her day. So it was not hard to imagine a game of AFLS would be out of her reach. With a few great possessions and a Super goal assist to her teammate Madison, Cindy let it be known that a few extra birthdays than some, should not hold you back from playing this great version of Aussie Rules Football.

Congratulations Cindy on possibly being the most senior female Aussie Rules Football player in the USA.
