Thanks Australian Football is played with a regulation FIFA No. 8 football,

By the way, U6s play with a regulation FIFA No. 3 football and yes it needs to be round.

A few humorous things were edited out of the original article, probably because of the naughty words, like the time outs and interchanges in the U6s for a wee break for the youngsters holding on to the end of their willies and some of the very funny, rude and uncomplimentary things the younger blokes were shouting out at the more distinguished senior players jogging around the field.

Jimbo,
excellent article and it took me back to my days playing some 35 years ago .. Almost identical scenarios … Great memories and good times at junior level and over 35′s park football … a delight to read….

A cheer from me….

OK OK,
its not the most exciting thing I’ve ever written, but it was a great day for me and the kids.

No worries – I guess you’ll be hitting the sack any minute!

OK, fair enough, maybe that was a bit grumpy. But I was literally yawning as I wrote it. Flew in from UK yesterday am massively jet lagged and have been awake since 4am.

I’m involved with my local U8s this year.

no need to be like that – it’s a typical day out for a family, regardless of what sport they’re playing – I’m sure everyone can relate to it.

All sounds good fun apart from your concerns with your under 11′s making the semi’s. If they are playing well that is fantastic, if they win that is a nice bonus.
