Last weekend, our Chairman & Founder, Tim Chant, along with American Football Queensland President, Troy Wykes, had the pleasure of being on local Brisbane radio station 102.1 4zzz’s Ballzzz in the Air radio show!

Tim & Troy promoted the upcoming contact season. Their synergy was immaculate as they highlighted everyone’s homefield locations, pre-season recruitment and season start date, September 26th, as well as promoting the Sun Bowl game that will be held on December 12th. This was another GAFAA Initiative as part of our Player Care & Giveback Programs.

The hosts, Chris & Anthony, were absolutely fantastic! Anthony shared his experience at the last Sun Bowl and noted the difference of spectating a game in-person compared to watching on TV. He particularly noted that hearing and feeling the hits is on a completely different level!

Ballzzz in the Air is on 102.1 4zzz every Saturday from 9am – 10am, promoting and highlighting sports in South East Queensland.

Coming up this Saturday, former Seattle Seahawks superstar, Jesse Williams, will be hosting an elite training camp at Ballymore Rugby Union Club. Scouts from the USA will be there representing varying colleges & universities for scholarships!

GAFAA Supporter’s Club has been working together with 4zzz & Ballzzz in the Air for over two years now. We extend our gratitude and thank them for their support!
