Looking for new players to play Aussie Rules Football
Want to try a new sport? Or continue playing a sport you played back in Australia?
Then we want you to come down and play for the Vancouver Cougars for season 2010.
We train out at the University of British Columbia through out the season (April->August), and are always looking for new players. Especially Canadians!
If you would like to come down and play (no try outs, everybody gets playing time) in a great, friendly atmosphere, then please email the coach Brad Jorgensen (bjorgo@gmail.com) or give him a call on 778 318 5850.
It’s a great way to meet new people, and have a good time as we frequently have club events such as hockey games, pub nights, paintball and a golf day. We also have optional road trips to places like Calgary for the Calgary Stampede, Seattle and the US Nationals.
Canadian players have the very real opportunity to play for their country at the International AFL Cup held in Australia every 3 years. The Cougars currently have 2 Canadians on the Northwind team (http://www.aflcanada.com/northwind/).
Preseason training has commenced for 2010, so don’t wait any longer!
