policies, rules & regulations

Hey Redhawks!!

RULES! RULES! RULES!

• “What do you mean there’s a change in the rules?”

• “When do these rules come into effect?”

• “Why do we need to play that way?”

Some big changes have been made to AFL Rules, Policies, and Procedures! As a result, the WA Football Commission (WAFC) has redeveloped the Junior Football rules and regulations to ensure better alignment with AFL structures and smoother transitions for players moving through the age groups.
