Footy 9s

Footy 9s is a version of Australian rules football created by Australian Football International.

Background

The traditional 18-a-side version of Australian rules football provides significant participatory barriers to entry outside of Australia.

These include a lack of access to suitably sized fields, significant infrastructure in the form of goal and behind posts, line marking and the number of players required to field two teams.

Footy 9s has been created by Australian Football International to allow Australian rules football to be played on smaller playing fields.
