WHAT IS IT?
Keep fit and have fun with casual play. ACT AFL Masters gives maturing players aged 35+ an outlet to enjoy footy. Man or woman, newcomer or veteran, this footy option appeals to anyone with basic fitness, a bit of commitment, and enthusiasm for team sport. No previous experience required.
THE EXPERIENCE
You can play footy, even when you’re busy. ACT AFL Masters run fortnightly Intra-club & Interstate games during the winter season, so you’ll make friends, maintain fitness, and keep a competitive edge without feeling overcommitted or risking overexertion.

Come have a run. Worst case? You pull a muscle. Best case? You’ll meet heaps of new mates and make peace with old foes.
We promise footy, fun, and zero judgement — except for your kicking technique, which will be roasted lovingly.
