In all other aspects, games shall be conducted in accordance with total WRFL by-laws. Modification to game conditions; a) Scores shall not be recorded b) No scoreboard shall operate c) No premiership points shall be awarded d) Ladders shall not be compiled/published e) No finals series to be played f) No WRFL awards shall be made to individual players The umpire should at all times; • Endeavour to apply the rules of the games whilst preferring to award kicks to players in preference to calling for “ball-ups” • Understand that the spirit of AFL Junior match rules for this age group is to enable all players to gather possession and that ‘the player in possession of the ball should be given opportunity to kick or handball’. For this reason, restrictions are placed upon body contact (refer to contact/tackling) • Attempt to involve all players as the opportunities arise, particularly when indicating which players are to receive a ‘free kick’ upon the ball being kicked out of bounds and ensuring the effective rotation of players through the three zones of play • Enforce the ‘full possession rule’ at all ball ups (see below) Playing Time: Game duration shall be four (4) quarters of 12 minutes duration (no time on) with breaks as follows: ¼ Time: 3 minutes ½ Time: 6 minutes ¾ Time: 3 minutes Teams: Teams shall comprise twelve per side, split into 4 forwards, 4 centres, 4 backs, plus an unlimited amount of interchange players. Interchange may take place at any time, but all players must play at least three quarters of the match. Where one team is short on players, the opposition will loan players to ensure equality of team numbers on the field. Players are to be rotated every quarter to provide opportunities in several positions, i.e. players to change from one zone to another and interchange onto the field. 5 | P a g e Playing Ground and Officials: The size of the playing field should be no bigger than 80m x 60m and divided into three equal zones (thirds) identified by markers or lines on the ground. A field umpire is needed, there are no boundary throw-ins (no boundary umpires) but two goal umpires are required. Zones: Backs are restricted to the back zones. Centres are restricted to the centre zone. Forwards are restricted to the forward zone. Rotate players to provide opportunities in several positions (as above). Transition of Ball: When the ball is in transition from the Back Zone to the Forward Zone, it must be touched by a player in the Mid- Zone. Failure for this to occur will see a free kick awarded to the opposition team at the point at which the ball entered the end zone. Scoring: Only players who are positioned as Forward Zone players may score. 6 | P a g e Possession Rule: The ball is possessed by the act of controlling it by catching it, grabbing it, or laying two hands on it when it is on the ground. Once the ball is possessed, all other players must back off to the side of

We have attracted 13 Clubs/18 teams to this tournament and we thank you for this dynamic demonstration of the growing strength of Women’s AFL community. The Challenge was developed in response to the identified need for clubs to secure competitive pre-season trial games; to test new players and provide a real game environment beyond clubs internal training. Clubs are also seeking to build the capacity and skills of volunteers for club game day officials by providing game day training and experience. We have been supported in the development of this project by AFL Sydney. For 2019 we have chosen the AFLX format to ensure maximum participation with two fields and two pools operating on the day. The Breakaways designed the Challenge event as a Carnival & Clubs Picnic to encourage comradery amongst the women’s clubs and players while still engaging in competitive football. We encourage teams to spread the story about women’s AFL. Use the promotional material with your club logo and bring you friends, team mates and support your team - bring a marquee, picnic and picnic rugs - enjoy the day.

  • Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: a Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J
    Janetzki et al. Sports Medicine - Open (2021) 7:28 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40798-021-00301-1 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Open Access Evolution of Physical Demands of Australian Football League Matches from 2005 to 2017: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Samuel J. Janetzki1* , Pitre C. Bourdon1, Kevin I. Norton1, Jackson C. Lane1 and Clint R. Bellenger1,2 Abstract Background: There is extensive research investigating the match demands of players in the Australian Football League (AFL). Objective: This systematic literature review and meta-regression sought to analyse the evolution of in-game demands in AFL matches from 2005 to 2017, focusing on the relationship between volume and intensity. Methods: A systematic search of Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Included studies examined the physical demands of AFL matches utilising global positioning system (GPS) technology. Meta-regression analysed the shift in reported volume (total distance and total match time) and intensity (metres per minute [m.min−1], sprint duration and acceleration) metrics for overall changes, across quarters and positional groups (forwards, nomadics and defenders) from 2005 to 2017 inclusive and for each year between 2005 and 2007, 2007 and 2010, 2010 and 2012, and 2012 and 2015/2017 breakpoints. Results: Distance (p = 0.094), m.min−1 (p = 0.494), match time (p = 0.591), time over 18 km·h−1 (p=0.271), and number of accelerations greater than 4 km·h−1 (p=0.498) and 10 km·h−1 (p=0.335) in 1 s did not change from 2005 to 2017.

  • VAFA Field Umpires 2012 Coaching Manual
    VAFA Field Umpires 2012 Coaching Manual EXPECTATIONS In preparing to umpire in the VAFA in 2012, I’d like you to consider what the coaches expectations are of you as umpires. A few thoughts are listed below but you might have others in mind: Strive for an excellent knowledge and understanding of the Laws, their Interpretations and the Spirit of the Laws Train regularly with purpose and enthusiasm Attend and participate fully in coaching sessions Seek continual self-improvement Attempt to apply feedback from your coaches Be open, honest and approachable in your communication with your coaches and the football community Be loyal and supportive of your colleagues Build positive relationships with the football community Take pride in the job that you’re doing Be a role model in behaviour and personal appearance Place the safety and welfare of the match participants above all else More, please… In the two umpire system, umpires using their partner’s whistle as a trigger In the three umpire system, the MZ umpire taking control of ball ups and boundary throw ins from around 35 metres to the arc. Reason: there must always be an umpire in the EZ close to goal Umpires working as a team. Good consultation between all umpires. Plenty of tap throughs, including awareness of the position of the other umpire for “chest tap throughs” For set shots at goal, the umpire staying at the mark until the player with the ball has stopped moving For set shots at goal, the umpire displaying forward vision while and after backing off For effective

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

An umpire is required to be a person of sound character, willing to accept advice and constructive feedback and above all, to interpret the rules of the game in a fair and equitable manner. He or she must always act in a manner which places the umpire above reproach and which ensures the integrity of the YJFL and the Umpiring Group. Once an umpire lodges a Registration Form it will be noted by the Umpires coaching panel and will confirm acceptance as a listed YJFL umpire. You will not be appointed to YJFL matches until registered. We wish you enjoyment and success in your umpiring; keeping in mind your level of commitment will have a bearing on your level of success. Umpires Coaching Panel. YJFL Umpiring 1 FITNESS Fitness plays a very big part in the standard of your performance.

  • 2016 Female Diversity Championships
    2016 Female Diversity Championships DAY 2 Match Report Kickstart South Australia were still searching for their first win of the season after being on the end of a brilliant team performance from Victoria. The Vics took the game convincingly, setting up the match in the first half, to sit comfortably 15 points up at half-time. Hailee-Jane Stokes was a stalwart in defence halting the South Australians entry as Chelsea Briggs-Baksh kicked a goal and produced plenty of assists in the 4.7 (31) to 0-1 (1) victory. Kickstart A blistering second half from Tasmania saw the side nearly pinch their first win of the Kickstart tournament when taking on NSW/ACT. Frantic calls were coming from the Tasmanian bench as the ball hovered around centre half forward in the final minutes of the game. But on the last line of defence Rheanin Booth took a strong mark in the goal square to ensure her side would take victory. Erin Naden backed up stunning performances on the first day with another blistering game. She showed her class with an outstanding run through the centre of the ground shrugging off a host of opposition players to send the ball inside fifty, helping her team to a 1.4 (10) to 1.0 (6) win. All Nations Northern Territory may not have got the result against Western Australia but their sportsmanship on the field reflected the meaning of inclusion at the tournament. Both sides shared a laugh and a chat before the second half got underway, but pleasantries stopped when the ball was thrown up.
