The Ft. Lauderdale Fighting Squids Australian Rules Football Team has moved its practices and games to the new Central Regional County Park in Lauderhill. Australian Rules Football enjoys worldwide support and play, but, as you would expect, originates out of Australia as one of its favorite sports.The game is played on a cricket field, and resembles Rugby. Numerous teams exist throughout the United States and Canada, with several teams in Florida. Annually, national tournaments are conducted, known as the "Nationals," and since Lauderhill has the first cricket field in the US with permanent stands, the national organization, USAFL, affectionately known as US Footy, is hoping to hold the event at our park in 2009. Participation at these events usually involve over 5,000 participants.
It has also been announced that the Spring Invitational will be played at the Regional Park April 11-13. Six teams have already been invited, and 4 more are expected to enter the tournament.
