A Coach's ramble.
I've thought a number of times today as I washed football jumpers, some of them three times, about what to say to everybody about the Nationals. I have some very conflicting thoughts from the weekend, you know, the battle between winning and having a good time.
I am once again speechless at the way this team plays the game and the spirit in which everyone approaches their football. More..▸

League Details
Join the League
When a small group of Bay Area footy followers transformed the Santa Cruz
'Roos into the Golden Gate Australian Football League in early 2002, they
had high hopes for the new league. The GGAFL enters 2010
with a solid player base, consistent performances at a national level, four
solid clubs, and continued enthusiasm for the future.But what keeps us going each year is new blood. If you're reading this, you already have an interest in Aussie Rules Football in the Bay Area. Why not follow through with a note to the league and let us know who you are, or join us . We welcome players of all levels. Some of our best players today are locals who kicked a footy for the first time just a few years ago. Several transplanted Aussies are already part of the league as well. So if you're here from down under or here from birth, come have a run with us.
If you don't want to play but are interested in helping to run our league or coming to watch games we would slao like to hear from you. Whoever you are, we hope to see you at the footy.
