WHAT
IS SUPER RULES FOOTY
The
game of Masters Australian Football (formerly known as
Superules) provides the opportunity for players 35 years
and over to enjoy the game of Aussie Rules Football in a
safe, supportive and fun environment.
After first commencing in 1980 the sport is governed by
Superules Australia Inc and its nine member state
Associations and is now played by over 100 teams
throughout Australia.
MAF has a national standardised set of modified rules
designed to reduce the risks of injury and has the
benefit of being acknowledged and supported by the AFL
and the Australian Sports Commission.
Rule modifications include:
Age division restrictions,
No slinging when tackling players,
No knee or boot up when going in for marks,
Only two up for any rucks, and
No barging through packs and the order off rule for any
rough play.
With the development of new age categories such as
masterules (40 years and over) in addition to superules
(35 years and over), now being played in many domestic
competitions, the game is custom made for fun
involvement.
You will find a welcoming atmosphere at MAF clubs with
an emphasis on family involvement and fun social
interaction. While a good level of fitness is required
to enjoy the game fully, training runs once or twice a
week without huge time commitments are the order of the
day for superules. Matches are played once a fortnight.
An annual MAF Carnival in October features State and
Territory teams competing across four age divisions:-
Superules (35 years and over)
Masterules (40 years and over)
Seniorules (45 years and over)
Superseniors (50 years and over)
The Carnival is fun for everybody and has become one of
the biggest Aussie Rules football events of the year.
The big event of the year for MAF is the National
Carnival which is played annually, rotating to various
State venues.
There are also VicMetro Vs VicCountry once a month in
the winter months for players over 45 at various venues
around the state.
