American football in Australia

Okay kiddo, let’s talk about American football and how it’s played in Australia!

American football is a sport that’s really popular in America where two teams try to score points by carrying or throwing a ball over the other team’s goal line.

Now, even though American football isn’t as popular in Australia as it is in America, there are still a lot of people in Australia who really like the sport and some who even play it.

In Australia, there’s a league called the Australian Gridiron League (AGL) that plays American football. They have teams in different states all over the country.

There are some differences between American football played in America and Australian football played in Australia. For example, in Australia, they have slightly different rules for kicking the ball and also for passing it.

But overall, American football is played pretty much the same way in Australia as it is in America.

So even though American football may not be as popular in Australia as other sports like rugby or soccer, there are still lots of people who enjoy watching and playing it!
