Anybody know anything about them? A bunch of our seniors got stuff in the mail about going and playing. Sounds like a scam to me.

It is not a scam, it is a great opportunity to see the land down under. I went my senior year, and my team won both of our games and then they replayed our championship game later that night in the night clubs. It was a great experience.
If you think it is a scam, my suggestion is to contact the coach for your state who is responsible for getting players together.

Australia is unusually receptive to football in various forms.

I played in it in Ninteen Hundred and Ninety Five....Went to New Zealand though, then to Hawaii...Had a great time, beat a team from Wellington, New Zealand, but lost in the rain to Wyoming...Would do it again in a heartbeat...

Played in it in 1999 and I loved every second of it. Helped coach one year as well. It is expensive but if they can afford it, I highly recommend it. Loads of fun to be had.

We beat a team from Tennessee and then got whacked by a team from Idaho. Even played with a couple Aussies.

Coach: No scam -- not cheap, but totally legit and a great time for the kids.

One of my players went after the 2002 season. Had to raise the money to go but he had a great time and was very excited about the prospect of future players going to play. As stated in a previous post it is expensive but not a scam.
