  • US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book
    US Footy Ten Year Commemorative Book The First Ten Years of Australian Rules Football in America. “For the good of the game, for the love of the game” USFOOTY United States Australian Football League A REAL USFOOTY THANKS TO President’s Report “If you dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney Over ten years ago a group of ten Australians and Americans met in a barn in Indiana over a beer or two and dreamed about starting an Australian Rules Football League in the USA. From this gathering and the hard work of many, the USAFL celebrates its tenth year of operation. A dream became a reality and a game born in Australia is quickly establishing itself as a strong minor sport in the land of professional sport. Our tenth National Championships are being played in the city where the first game was played - Louisville, Kentucky. Our Championships have grown over the years from a small gathering of clubs to a significant number that produce economic benefits to the host club and city, but more importantly the gathering of teams is a chance to celebrate football and the league on an annual basis. If you haven’t been to the USAFL Championships you are missing a great celebration of grass roots sport. At these Championships we will celebrate those players, coaches, umpires and officials who have been integral to the success of the USAFL. We will remember past matches and past Championships. The stories will be told of those fantastic road trips and the characters that make being part of a football team one of the great experiences of life.

(Las Vegas Aviators manager, coaches and players are employed by the Oakland Athletics). There is a total of 30 Triple-A cities that comprise the 14-team International League and the 16-team Pacific Coast League…therefore the 30 Major League Teams have PDC’s with the 30 Triple-A teams.
