AFL 9s has 9 players on the field per team, with unlimited interchange players.
In a Mixed league there is a minimum of 3 players of either gender on the field at all times. Having a few people unavailable for a few matches is inevitable, so the perfect number of players for a premiership winning AFL 9s team is 12, this ensures you will always have a full side.
Why Forfeit? If you are short on players you can bring along fill ins!
Everyone looks forward to their weekly game of AFL 9s so we try and do whatever we can to get a game going!
If you’re still struggling the first thing to do is contact your AFL 9s Competition Manager ASAP.
Runners or football boots* and matching colour team shirts. And if you don’t have matching team shirts we’ll provide you with AFL 9s bibs.

You can also buy customised apparel at the AFL 9s Shop.
Yes, all AFL 9s competitions are covered by insurance. If your team is registered and paid up then your players are covered. In the event of you needing to make a claim just let your competition manager know and they will guide you through the process.
