an error the ALF have a lot to answer for for not properly promoting the greatly modified rules Auskick and junior football operate under.
Auskick is as safe if not safer than soccer which covers kids aged 6-8yo and the next couple of age groups above that are still very safe with limits on tackling and contact.
One thing I have noticed with junior soccer copared to football is a lot more ugly parents with soccer.
Almost no existant in the football club my son plays at and the club takes measures to stop it
a Kids soccer team in the same area with people from the same types of backgrounds and it is a completely different story
