Please note any rules which we do not specifially cover in our rules are to be found in the Rules of Australian Football which can be found below.
In relation to bouncing of the ball there has been confusion this year the rule is below, and this is specific to Under 11 upwards
15.2.2 Remaining in Possession and Bouncing the Football
(a) A Player may remain in possession of the football for
any length of time:
(i) unless the Player is Correctly Tackled by an opponent;
(ii) provided the Player complies with Law
15.2.2(b).
(b) Where a Player is moving whilst in possession of the football, the Player must bounce or touch the football on the ground at least once every 15 metres, irrespective of whether such Player is running in a straight line or otherwise. For the purposes of this Law, a Player shall be deemed to be in possession of the football during the period when the Player handballs the football to themself and regains possession without the football touching the ground.
(c) A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player if they are of the opinion that a Player has contravened Law 15.2.2(b).
