My son had his first game of aussie rules footy yesterday in the under 9s.
Rules are 9 a side, no tackling and the 3 forwards wear white arm bands and are supposed to be the only ones kicking goals.
I was surprised, i really could not understand how it would work without tackling but it did, the game just flowed.
Kids would get the ball, run a bit and then either kick it or handball it off. Kinda like basketball where people would trap you and you have no choice but to pass it or lose it.
Be cool if he continues, i don't mind standing out in the rain for an hour once a week:)
