Aussie Rules
Skills
This is a crazy Australian
mixture of football, rugby and
basketball where you can kick,
bounce, catch or punch a ball.
Sometimes it's so mad it seems
like there are no rules at all, but
it's an awesome game.
You score points by getting the
egg-shaped ball between four
posts at the ends of an oval
shaped field. Each team has 18
players on each team.

The Rules
Scoring
To score a goal – 6 points:

The ball must be kicked by the
attacking team between the goal
posts across the goal line.
To score a behind – 1 point:


The ball is kicked, handballed,
bounces or is carried across the
goal line between the goal post and
behind the post by either team, or
The ball is kicked across the goal
line between the goal posts by the
defending team.
Did you know…that in
Australia 650,373 people
were playing Aussie Rules
last year! That is half the
population of Auckland!

THE MAJOR RULES:
The major rules for Australian rules football are as follows:
Marking
A mark is awarded when a player catches the ball on the full from another player’s
kick and the ball has travelled more than 10 metres. After a mark, a player can
either take a kick or handpass. No one is allowed to tackle the player unless they
play on (run off).
Throwing
Players can only punch, handpass or kick. Throwing the ball or dropping the ball
when they are tackled are both illegal.
Holding the ball
There are two types of holding the ball:
 Holding the ball when a player is tackled – the player must either attempt to
kick or handpass the ball straight away or they are holding the ball, and a free
kick is given to the tackler
 Holding the ball when a player is running with the ball – the player must
bounce it or touch it on the ground every 10 metres.
Out on the full
It is illegal to kick the ball over the boundary line on the full. The penalty is a free
kick to the opposition.
Tackling
Tripping, grabbing around the neck or shoulders and pushing in the back are illegal
tackles. A player may only tackle another player between the shoulders and waist.
(However, we do not adopt this rule during ‘The Anatomical Footy Show’ at Springs).

Warriors whiz kid Shaun Johnson was
nearly lost to AFL when he attracted the
interest of scouts in 2006.
By Peter Badel and Mike Colman The Daily Telegraph September 29, 2011
Super talent ... Johnson could have been playing for the Swans, but decided to stick with
rugby league.
Tagged the next Benji Marshall, rookie halfback Johnson will attempt to steer the Warriors
to their first premiership when he goes head-to-head with Manly sensation Daly CherryEvans in the grand final.
But the 21-year-old, one of New Zealand sport's hottest prospects, could easily be starring
for Sydney Swans.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal Johnson played Australian Rules at 16 and appeared on the
AFL's radar when he was named New Zealand's best player in 2006 at an International Youth
tournament named after the legendary Ron Barassi.
Speaking from the Johnson family home in Whangaparaoa, New Zealand, his dad said:
"Shaun really liked the game. Playing in the AFL was a definite option for him.

"He was named the most promising player of that tournament and we were told by the
other coaches at the carnival if any of the Kiwi kids would make it professionally (in the AFL),
it would be Shaun.
"We actually went on a tour of the Sydney Swans headquarters.
"We met their heavy hitters and went through their gymnasium with the New Zealand
under-16 team.
"In the end, we thought unless we moved to Aussie, an AFL career wasn't going to happen
for him.
"Then the Warriors showed interest, which meant Shaun could stay at home."
While Johnson has received rave reviews for his attacking skills, his brief stint in Australian
rules proved very beneficial.
The boom playmaker honed his kicking game at Orewa College under his coach Craig
Ashton, who played Australian football and has since been employed by the Warriors as
kicking coach.
It has been a remarkable ride to the grand final for Johnson. Just months ago he was
battling a back injury as the Warriors experimented with their halves combinations.
The quick-stepping No. 7 did not get his chance until round 13, but has been so composed
coach Ivan Cleary could not resist his game-breaking brilliance.
"The start of the season and was fairly frustrating," Johnson said. "It's every kid's dream to
play NRL and at the time I wanted to do so, but I've had a taste of it now and I can safely say
I probably wasn't ready."
Much has been made of his battle with Cherry-Evans, but Johnson is more concerned with
breaking the Warriors' 16-year premiership drought.
"I know the sort of player Daly is but it's not really me against him," he said. "We're
confident in our ability. We haven't won a grand final but as long as we keep our heads
down and do the best we can, we'll be OK."
Did you know? Humans
and giraffes have the same
number of bones in their
necks i.e. 8? Giraffe neck
vertebrae are just much,
much longer!

EXTEND YOURSELF! The skeleton is divided into two sections, the Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular
Skeleton. The Axial Skeleton is made up of core of the body (head, rubs, spine and sternum. The Appendicular
Skeleton is all the bones in the limbs (arms, legs, hands and feet).

EXTEND YOURSELF! There are two different types of
muscles: voluntary and involuntary. Voluntary muscles
are the muscles that you control (for instance, you send
the message to your bicep to flex it). Involuntary muscles
are muscles that do their job without being told (for
instance, your heart beats without being told). What are
some other involuntary muscles you can think of?

THE FUNCTION OF MUSCLES (What they do)
Fill in the blanks using the following words: pull, move, function, supporting, bones
The muscles play a major role in _______________ the human skeleton and allowing it to
_______________.
Muscles hold together the _______________ and joints of the skeleton. They are the
skeleton’s support system.
They are placed over the joints of the body to allow them to _______________.
The key point to remember is that muscles don’t push they only _______________.
MOVEMENT OF THE JOINTS:
FLEXION: The movement at the
joint which makes the angle at the
joint smaller. In order for the
movement to happen at the knee,
the hamstring flexes and PULLS the
tibia and fibula towards the femur.
EXTENSION: The movement at the joint
which makes the angle at the joint
larger. In order for the movement to
happen, the quadriceps flexes and PULLS
the tibia and fibula away from the femur.
FLEXION
to
EXTENSION!

Muscles usually work in pairs! For example:
When you bend at the knee, the hamstrings are the working muscles which are
pulling the lower leg towards the upper leg. Therefore, the hamstring is called the
AGONIST MUSCLE. At this time, the quadriceps are relaxing, allowing the
movement to happen. They are called the ANTAGONIST MUSCLE.
Therefore…
When you straighten the knee, the quadriceps are the working muscles which are
pulling the lower leg away from the upper leg. Therefore, the quadriceps are called
the AGONIST MUSCLE. At this time, the hamstrings are relaxing, allowing the
movement to happen. They are called the ANTAGONIST MUSCLE.
11
NOW YOU TRY IT…with the elbow!
(Fill in the blanks with flexion, extension, bicep, tricep)
When we bend our arm, the angle at the joint
is getting smaller. Therefore the movement is
_______________. The ___________ is
pulling the radius and ulna towards the
humerus.
When we straighten our arm, the angle at the
joint is getting bigger. Therefore the
movement is _______________. The
____________ is pulling the radius and ulna
away from the humerus.
In the pictures below, identify the AGONIST and ANTAGONIST:
MOVEMENT: EXTENSION OF THE
ELBOW
AGONIST MUSCLE: _____________
ANTAGONIST MUSCLE: __________
MOVEMENT: FLEXION OF THE
ELBOW
AGONIST MUSCLE: _____________
ANTAGONIST MUSCLE: __________

AUSSIE RULES PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT:
Hand pass and bouncing assessment (This drawing is half the turf split into thirds)
MERIT
Two bounces and a hand
pass to a person on the left.
Two bounces and a hand
pass to a person on the left.
Two bounces and a hand
pass to a person on the
right.
EXCELLENCE
ACHIEVED
Students get 2 chances to achieve. You must achieve both bounces to get to the next level. Students
may touch the group with the ball instead of bouncing the ball, however they must do the whole
course and can only achieve a maximum of achieved.
Drop Punt Kick Assessment: (This drawing is half the turf split into fifths)
ACHIEVED
(male and female)
MERIT (female)
EXCELLENCE (female)
MERIT (male)
EXCELLENCE
(male and female)
X = Kicker 0 = Catcher
The kicker stands at the far end of the court and tells the catcher to “run” across the target area. The kicker
has to land a kick in the catcher’s arms or within a 2m radius from them in the zone. You cannot go to the next
level without successfully completing the one prior (ie, you can’t just start at Excellence).
