Care of players
Australian football (AFL) is one of the most popular sports in Australia, with thousands playing and watching the sport each year.
AFL is a contact sport that occasionally may result in injuries from tackling, kicking, running, hand-balling, marking and physical competition for the ball.
Recent studies have indicated that the rates of injury in junior Australian football, particularly modified rules and AFL Auskick, are very low.
