What is aussie rules?
Imagine a sport that combines the kicks of soccer, the aerial plays of ultimate, the
dribbling of basketball, the speed of lacrosse, and the physicality of
hockey.
One of the best things about AFL is how open and fun it is. There is no offside rule, you can run in any direction, kick or punch the ball to pass, push opponents out of the way, and block for your teammates.
It is fast, a bit chaotic, but surprisingly easy to jump into. It's fast, chaotic, and incredibly fun.
