AFL Capricornia will be host to the first ever Rec Footy competition held in Gladstone.
GAME VENUE
Touch Football Grounds, Harvey Road, Gladstone.
COMPETITION STRUCTURE
The AFL Rec Footy competition will be a mixed competition. Whilst there isn't a defined age limit, it will be kept to secondary school students and older to avoid any issues. An outline of the rules can be found at this link: http://www.afl.com.au/Default.aspx?tabid=10247
COMPETITION DATES AND TIMES
The competition will run for eight weeks on a Tuesday night, with games being played at 6pm and 7pm. The fixture will be as follows:
Tuesday 5th October - Come 'n Try Night (6:30pm)
Tuesday 12th October - Round One
Tuesday 19th October - Round Two
Tuesday 26th October - Round Three
Tuesday 2nd November - Round Four
Tuesday 9th November - Round Five
Tuesday 16th November - Round Six
Tuesday 23rd November - Round Seven
Tuesday 30th November - Grand & Consolation Finals
Tuesday 7th December - Wet Weather Reserve Week
TEAM REGISTRATION FEES
A minimum team fee of $500 is to be paid by all competing teams. Another $50 will be paid per extra player if teams have more than 10 players. (For example if a team has 13 players they would pay another $150, making a total of $650.) This works out to be around $6 each a game, very cheap when compared with other team sports.
SPONSORS
There are three major sponsors. They are Gladstone Physio and Fitness, Raine and Horne Gladstone, Sparkman's Cabinets and Joinery. With their generosity, players will be competing for $1500 in prize money.
