    Australian Rules football was codified [made official with all the rules] in 1859 before soccer [1863] or rugby [1871, although it was played before that - just not to approved rules] or basketball [1892]. So our code, played ALL the way on the other side of the world, was its own 'invention' and not garnered from other sports. It was developed to be played on cricket ovals to keep cricket players match fit during the off season. And yes, kids in Australia grow up with a footy in their hands - they play with a local team in age groups or just get together in a park to kick the footy around. Same with cricket - rubbish bins have always been used for street cricket wickets [or a few milk crates - whatever is handy]. Backyard rules always apply, but can differ between suburbs or families.

    Yes, kids (boys and girls) play footy at school with modified rules. They can progress through different leagues to the ultimate competition which is the AFL
    The men have been playing for over 150 years
    The women’s league started in 2017 and is going strong. A huge number of girls play Aussie Rules.

    My first memory(I am now 61) was with a football in hand. We played in the streets after school until it was too dark, at recess, in parks, my brothers and I would sneak a ball when we went on holidays or went camping, we played in teams at school level, underage, seniors etc. Greatest game on earth.

  • @philipsmith5088
    @philipsmith5088 Год назад +3

    Yep. Played at school. I started when I was 7 and played until I was 35 (amateur level, not professionally). It's really not that dangerous when you know what you're doing and how to absorb a tackle or a hit.

  • @DaveWhoa
    @DaveWhoa Год назад +6

    its VERY popular at recess in school, although usually it's just kick-to-kick (one group of kids kicking to another group, often trying to take "speccies" even at that young age)

    Aussie rules began in the 19th century. It was a developed as a way to keep cricketers fit in winter. It is one of the oldest codified sports on the planet. It is most popular in the southern Australian States, but has gained ground in what are traditionally rugby States (New South Wales and Queensland). Teams from those States have been very successful in the past few decades. Yes, kids grow up playing it.

      As someone who lives in the rugby state of NSW I can agree. The game is getting bigger by the year. Buddy’s 1000th definitely made a positive impact on the state. A swans and lions regular season home game gets more fans in seats than almost any regular season NRL game. More people are starting to see how great the beautiful game of Australian Football is ❤

    If your on your school AFL footy team then you play normally. But when its apart of your sport classes then you play a modified version thats not as rough

  • @phillipevans9414
    @phillipevans9414 Год назад +3

    The AFL season starts in late March, and runs through to the end of September (including finals), so if you are in Australia during these times you have an opportunity to see a game live - even if you don't, it's great to watch on T.V (online etc). Keep the video's coming, and I hope whenever you come, that you have a great trip to Australia. Cheers!

  • @matthewcharles5867
    @matthewcharles5867 Год назад +2

    Growing up was the main sport we played at school and the game does include specialist positions like ruckman.
    The fact that there is no offside rule means it's a very fast sport and players have to be aware of there surroundings all the time.

  • @brosert
    @brosert Год назад +1

    Like Americans might throw the baseball or throw a football, Australian kids grow up kicking to each other, or finding any posts to use as goals to kick towards. Or, playing small games (although without enough people and without umpires this can quickly descend into chaos) A common game is "marks up" where one person will kick to a group of people and if anyone takes a mark they get to become the person kicking to the group....
    NB: I've watched loads of people react to this video - but I like that you're the only one I've seen go through some comments on it afterwards

    My young son aged about 7 played footy on a Saturday morning with a local kids football group, Vic Kick I think it was called he’s 40 now. My daughter wanted to play too, girls were allowed, but she had classical ballet class straight after footy - I gave in, she did both. We didn’t tell her ballet teacher until the end of the year lol. I knew she’d worry about an injury. We’d rush home from footy, wash off the dirt, grab her ballet gear then went from football boots to ballet shoes and Pliés lol 😆

    In the winter of 1858, students from three Melbourne schools played each other in several games. St Kilda in Victoria established the firstclub in 1858, followed by Melbourne, CofE Grammar, Scotch College and South Yarra; first South Australian club Old Adelaide formed in 1860, New Town in Tasmania 1866. The AFL was established in 1990, and currently has 18 teams; teams coming from Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. Only Tasmania and the Northern Territory don't have teams in the competition.

  • @mikeythehat6693

    Kids play it at school. I first played (organised competition , full contact) at about 10 years old .
    The League has been trying to take the game international for some years now. They have been making significant inroads into most countries. Especially the U.S. some European countries and South Africa.

  • @bluedog1052
    @bluedog1052 Год назад

    I was born with a footy in my hands and played it for many years at different levels, I'm way too old these days to exert the physical strengths required to play at club level. I went through school in Adelaide, so mainly you'd see schools in South Australia, Victoria, Western Aus. NT and Tasmania have AFL teams that play against other schools in their district (the other States are mainly Rugby League) and at recess and lunch times we'd just kick the ball to each other or have cracks at the goals.

    We used to play "Kick to kick" during recess at school. A group of blokes either side of the ground and you try to mark the ball any way you can when it's kicked to your group. Broke a few fingers just doing that.

    HERE IS A SHOCK.
    Most Australian babies get a football in their hands before they can walk. So they grow up practising and heaps of kids can bounce the ball perfectly, (which is not easy to do with an egg shaped ball unless you know what you’re doing.) well as master the other skills.
    (Note. You only have to bounce the ball “within” 15 mtrs. Most players bounce after a few steps to avoid going beyond 15 m, which would see a free kick given to the other team.)
    “EVERY SUBURB” of every city has an Aussie rules team. Seniors, reserves, under 19’s, under 17s, under 15s, under 12s, under 9s, and even the little leagues under 6.
    Realise that the fierceness and contact is relative to the age. So under 9s will not collide like the adult men. There is surprisingly little problem with injuries in any of the age groups. Even the senior AFL that you just watched, may not have to replace an injured player for the whole game.
    Aussie rules is the oldest sport. It was codified before any of the others. (Which of course means ran as a organised competition.) Invented by a guy called Tom Wills, (In 1858) it was to be a way of keeping cricket players fit in the off-season.
    It is an absolute religion in Australia, and it is the glue that bonds our society together. Unlike some overseas sports, even in 100,025 fans, (last year’s grand final attendance.) there is rarely any problems. Parents to take their children to our games, and there is only ever the odd idiot because everybody is there to enjoy the game.
    Fourth highest weekly attendance in the world, but if it was calculated per capita, no other sport in the world would get close for weekly attendances as we have only 25 million people.
    Welcome to the greatest game on the planet. Cheers mate.

    Children begin to learn how to play this from about the age of 7, using modified rules; they progress towards full rules, as the progress through the grades/divisions by age. Aussie Rules isn't the only large sports played in Australia: we have soccer, rugby union, rugby league and cricket; just to name a few.

    In the 1970s we played at primary school, kids got cleaned up all the time. No whinging, we just got up and either played on or had a bit of a sit down. A couple of kids got seriously injured, but that's just natural selection at work.

      You're entirely correct. In fact, there's a hybrid game called "International Rules Football" played between Australia and Ireland every year.

  • @OldFossil
    @OldFossil Год назад +1

    Australian Football is in my opinion the greatest sport to exist. It’s the only major sport that was invented in Australia and is the oldest codified sport in the world. It’s a fun game to watch and to play.
    I personally think it’s better to watch the game in person than on TV as the cameras don’t capture the whole field. The TV camera misses the offensive and defensive structures forming as the ball is approaching the Inside 50. Plus the atmosphere is amazing. There’s no flares or “Ultra” supporter groups in Australian Football since there isn’t a need for one especially when the game is more fast paced and higher scoring than Association Football. Making it one of the most family friendly sporting atmospheres out of all of the major sports in the world (yes there are hiccups here and there but nothing too major).
    It unfortunately lacks international attention, but thankfully the pandemic kickstarted the trend of our great game being recognised from around the world. Every day on RUclips I see someone new reacting to the beautiful game which makes me happy about the sport that I am passionate about.
    If you need any questions regarding the sport, let any of us fans know and we’d be happy to answer your questions.
    If you’re looking for a club to support you can try a personality test to see what club you end up in. A lot of people from overseas either support the Sydney Swans because it’s the main Sydney team, or they’ll support the Collingwood Magpies because they’re the most supported (and hated lol) club in the league.
    I’m a Hawthorn supporter since birth and we’re that team that is rebuilding after a very successful premiership dynasty in 2008 and from 2013-15. It’s a great club worth investing your time in for the long run, but if you’re looking to support a team that is pretty good from the moment you start watching the game then I recommend supporting one of the top 10 teams from last season.
    Hope you’re able to love the game just like all of us do! 🇦🇺💛🤎

    It was created in 1850 by the new influx of migrants at the Goldfields of Victoria, it was called Victorian Football League originally before it moved to other states to become AFL - first official football sport in Australia! It was followed by Rugby and finally Soccer in NSW! Cricket is usually played more at recess, but at the parks or near suburban homes, any football is just as popular! 😄

    most kids in Australia play at breaks we have two a day recess which is about 15 mins around 9.30 am and lunch 30 mins
    Also every school has a footy team and one day a week the one's picked play in the team
    Get to play against another school games go 2hrs and depending if it at your or other the travelling team get 3 hr break from school work and same for training normally 2 hrs a week
    As kids you don't get hurt much occasionally a few stitches broke or dislocated fingers nothing major Aussie kids used to be tough as nails but getting soft all going for soccer basketball cricket and all schools have a team as well then thiers rugby but schools don't have a team only really played professionally in two states nsw and qld but it's international sport then theirs netball baseball all schools have a team of these then there's tennis in some schools and many other things we have or had in my time two hours a week for physical education for all students compulsory where a sport teacher set up a program for running jumping all sorts of stuff
    That when people like myself wouldn't do that but go do footy training on school oval
    im not sure if all this happens now days
    As a lot of public schools sold off their grounds but all schools have a swimming program if they don't have a pool the use public pools in their areas swimming became a big deal to teach as to stop drowning as we are surrounded by sea and rivers they teach you the basics of survival as you can see Aussie kids are busy with sport and fitness in my day on top of everyday school work they done these things during the days to brake up the monotony of school work even had drama classes and music as set lessons

    Ok, a goal is worth 6 points, not 7. You definitely can't throw the ball. You have to punch it from an open palm. This is a handball. Although it seems to be made up of lots of sports, it is older than almost all other codes of football. It was invented in 1858 as a way to keep cricketers fit in winter and was codified in 1859. Yes, many school kids play Aussie rules. When they are little (up to about 7 years old), they often play Auskick, a modified version run by the AFL with no tackling but after that, it is full contact. Girls and women play it too.

  • @stevemurrell6167
    @stevemurrell6167 Год назад

    We actually reckon Aussie rules looks nothing like rugby.....and it's so much better. Australian Rules Football has been played since the late 1850's and was codified as a game around the same time as rugby and soccer, possibly earlier. It has similarities to Gaelic Football (Ireland) and Marngrook, an indigenous game played by Australia's first nations people for centuries.
