LIVE STREAM: 2015 Gridiron Australia Junior National Championships (1:00p AWST, 1:00a EST)
Watch Australia’s best young American football athletes go head to head at the Australia Gridiron Australia Junior National Championships.
The Western Australia Raiders, Queensland Sundevils and defending champions North South Wales Wolverines will battle it out for the Junior National Title.
The players will be jostling for selection to represent Australia as part of the Junior Outback National Team to take on USA and the world in the IFAF Junior World Championships in 2016!
Normally all six states would be competing (as in previous championships) but 2 states (South Australia, Northern Territory) did not qualify this time due to a rebuilding phase of their Junior Programs.
Gridiron Victoria is currently not aligned with Gridiron Australia (the official IFAF Sanctioned body) and therefore cannot put forward a team until they rejoin GA (which is in progress). So, in the meantime it will be down to 3 states to fight it out!
