Hampton Roads SeaLions Aussie Rules Footy

Hampton Roads SeaLions Aussie Rules Footy The Norfolk/Hampton Roads hub of VA footy - home of Hampton Roads SeaLions Aussie Rules football team

VA Footy, with the support of Footy 5000, is growing local "footy pods" across VA, with plans to continue to grow Aussie Rules "footy" across the Commonwealth of Virginia. ( see: www.AFL.com.au + https://womens.afl/ )

The blueprint for VA footy includes building toward a statewide VA "metro-league" (12-15 players per side) ... to involve teams from VA's regional centers - including Norfolk/Hampt

onRoads, Richmond, Fredericksburg & Charlottesville (places where there already is developing interest) ... plus other places in future too as interest grows (... like Petersburg/Chester, Williamsburg/NewportNews - & Blacksburg, Harrisonburg, Lynchburg, Roanoke, VaBeach, etc)
.. from which we can build a competitive development squad of adult players (both men & women) - combining our regional powers as Virginia's "RVA Lions" ... unified rep/travel teams rep'ing our whole Commonwealth of Virginia in the national league - the USAFL - in its interstate fixtures, footy carnivals & tournaments
( ref: www.rvalions.com + www.usafl.com )

A great way for each of us to "kick off" locally and is with a low key social "kick to kick", maybe an occasional AFL game watchparty or two, &, as sufficient interest develops in each location we'll get casual "AFL Social" *coed* rec leagues going locally (6-11 players per side)
( ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick-to-kick + www.AFLSocial.com + https://play.afl/afl9s )

* We also plan to start regularly hosting kids "Auskick" clinics in Virginia by summer 2022 (- along similar lines of some of DC's "Washington Junior Footy" programs).

** There are opportunities too for those committed & sportingly-gifted & talented "lions" & "lionesses" among us to represent the country in our national squads - the USA Revolution (mens) & the USA Freedom (womens)

*** Of course right away, while we develop toward the above "master plan", ANYONE who is interested is welcome to be involved at whatever level they like - whether just as a social player, supporter or fan - or as a completely competitive beast trying out for the respective national rep teams ! ;)

Sad day for the Sealions!! Backbone of the club, Shiny, is heading back to Aus 🇦🇺. Shiny’s been around right from the beginning and has helped the hub, and the larger Virginia Lions club, tremendously over his tenure. He will be sorely missed, but the talented lefty will be continuing footy back for his home club in Adelaide. Today we held an intraclub match in Virginia Beach to see him off before he, Becki, and the family make the trek across the Pacific. Best of luck Shiny, we’ll miss you here in Virginia but we’re sure we’ll see you before too soon!
