AFC SENIOR FOOTBALL
What we offer
AFC's full contact Senior competition is open to anyone aged 18 years old and over. We welcome registrations from new players who are keen to give the sport a go. No experience is necessary and the only things you'll need is a mouthguard and some boots, as we can provide you with all the other equipment you'll require for the season, including pads, helmet and a uniform.
AFC play a variation of the traditional 11-a-side game, on a slightly smaller field with only 8 players on each side. The games are shorter in length and more fast paced, making for an exciting spectacle to both play and watch. This format also allows for the sport to be easier to learn and understand for newcomers as they are introduced to various schemes, concepts and jargon.

COMPETITION DETAILS AND FORMAT
AFC's Senior football programme runs from August through to December each year. At the beginning of each season, a fun, relaxed draft takes place, in which new players are selected into one of the Senior teams. This is the team they will play in that season, however all teams train together as one unit, learning the same playbook and developing connections right across the club.
The teams will battle against each other for a chance to win the coveted AFC Championship. Games are played on Saturday mornings at Thomson Park in New Brighton.
