ABOUT US
GRIDIRON
American Football is commonly referred to as gridiron in Australia to differentiate it from the other four codes of football. It has become a rapidly rising sport in south-east Queensland since 1985. Recent participation trends indicate that the growth of this high impact sport is about to explode.
The sport has a clean image and as such we are finding parents bringing their sons to be involved with our sport as an alternative to rugby league. The game has been played in South East Queensland for 25 years. The recent rate of expansion is exciting!
