HOW MANY PLAYERS DO WE NEED ON MY TEAM FOR AUSSIE RULES?
The team must include a minimum of two (2) males, and two (2) females and all remaining players can be any gender including gender-diverse people. You decide how many players are on your roster, but we recommend about 9-10 to account for subs, and weeks when people can’t make it.
I HAVE NEVER PLAYED AUSSIE RULES, WILL I STILL BE OK TO REGISTER AND PLAY?
If you are completely new to the sport (or haven’t played in a while), ensure you choose a recreational division when registering and you will be taught everything on the first night. We have friendly League Hosts who coach and care and will help you develop your game throughout the season.
I AM HOPING TO REGISTER AS A TEAM, BUT I AM JUST GETTING IT ALL ORGANISED, WILL I MISS OUT?
Most of our leagues allow you to pay a $150 deposit to lock in your team space. The final amount is due before the league starts. Some leagues sell out quickly, so pay the deposit ASAP to avoid disappointment.
I DON’T HAVE A TEAM, I WANT TO REGISTER ON MY OWN, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Yes, we offer individual registration as well. Click here to see the FAQ’s and more info about signing up for an individually formed team.
I DON’T HAVE A TEAM, I WANT TO REGISTER WITH A FRIEND(S), IS THAT POSSIBLE?
Yes, register as an individual and you and your friends can join together and meet other people.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING, OR WEAR WHEN PLAYING THIS SPORT?
On the first night, teams will be asked to bring a black and white shirt and alternate colours to their opposition. Teams can opt to choose a team colour. Individual teams are given pre-allocated team colours. For Aussie Rules, normal runners are fine.
Urban Rec will supply all the equipment.
HOW LONG DO THE GAMES LAST FOR?
In Aussie Rules, we play two 20-minute halves. If your team show up late those times might be shortened, so lace up and be ready! You can view the sports rules for more detailed information on subbing players, half-time breaks etc.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REGISTER?
You will start receiving information about your league via email, so make sure you add [email protected] to your address book.
WHO IS MY MAIN POINT OF CONTACT AT URBAN REC?
We love people and for that reason, you have a dedicated League Manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the season. You will also have a League Host who is part coach, and part referee, and they will be there each week to run your games.
