Women's Australian Football Association

Andrea Casillas was recently appointed as Secretary on the USAFL Executive Board after Jim Martin chose to step down from the position. Andrea has been Women's Program Coordinator for the USAFL since 2010 and will remain in this role.

NY Lady Pie players Christina Licata, Drea Casillas , Siobhan McHale and Monica Robbins were recently selected to the USA Freedom team, which will play in the inaugural 2011 AFL International Cup in Australia later this year.  Six women’s teams from the USA, Canada, Papua New Guinea, Italy, Ireland and an Australian Indigenous team will take the field.

This is a very exciting year for Australian Rules Football, as the International Championship (World cup) takes place this year in Australia. This is the first year that there will be a Women's Division with six teams competing: Canada, USA, Italy, Ireland, Papau New Guinea and a combined Multicultural and Indigenous team. The women’s section of the IC11 will be played between the 15th - 27th of August, 2011 in Sydney and Melbourne.

New head coach Tristan Waldock is proud to announce 27 players to the 2011 AFL Canada Northern Lights squad. We are very proud of our selections and confident in our team going to Australia to compete in the first Women's Division of the International Cup in August, 2011!
