But whats the sport of aussie rules all abou heres abcs Nikki Battiste on this try day, friday. Slaps it wide. Quickly inside. He took it. Reporter dont be fooled. This isnt soccer or rugby. America, let us introduce aussie rules football. Commonly called footy, australias most popular sport is now gaining ground in the u. S. So we decided to crash this practice and check it out. Very good stuff. Reporter jordan mntyre coaches the new york magpies, one of more than 30 teams in the United States australian football league. In american football when you finish high school, college, afterwrwards. This is a nice outlet for people who want to continue into their 20s and 30s. Why play aussie rules footballnstead of american soccer or football . I just found it to be the purest sport. The most fun to play. Reporter this is how the game works. There are 18 players on an ovalsped field, probably bigger than any other turf youve seen. The ball is eggshaped and if youre running with it, one rule is that players must bounce the ball every 15 yards. Which other sports fd quite strange. Its the only sport that does that. This side of the ball hits the ground. Thats it. Notasy. Reporter there a are two ws to move the ball from player to player. The first one is handball. So rather than throw the ball in rugby or overhand in american football, you hold it down here and you come through and punch the ball. Give it a kick. Wow. I did it. Reporter footy allows bare bone body tackles but only between the knees and shoulders. Thats becse players do not wear helmets or pads. Theres a lot of knee injues in austrian football because your feet sort of get wedged in the turf and you get twisted around. Reporter a goal is scored when a competitor kicks the ball between two goal posts. To popularize the sport in the u. S. , leagague rulesequire at least half the players on the field be amerirican.

Thats the great thing about footy. There is a place for every body its such a dynamic sport with so many different kinds of positions that anybody can play it. Reporter and these women are proving this rough and tough sport isnt only for the boys. Everybody bring it in. I love american football. And i was never allowed to play it. It just wasnt somomething tt girls could do, but girls can do it. Eporter besides being fun, competitive and a great workout, there might be one other aspect of the sport that keeps these players in the game. So theres a womens team there, a mens team there. How many people are dating . Thatts funny. To be honest, i dont really know. I think the players keep a lot from the coach. At least three or four couples amongst the two oups. Thats a pretty good ratio. Reporter vickie batiste, abc news, new york. Nikki asking the important questions on the fieldld. Love that. What a great piece. Yeah, it was. Jack, can you catch it .
