OUR SPONSORS
what is super rules?
Masters (Superules) AFL Football is a social, age-restricted version of Australian Rules designed for older players (commonly 35+ or 40+, depending on the competition). Key points:
- Age-based community competition emphasizing fitness, fun and camaraderie over elite performance.
- Modified rules to reduce injury risk and physical intensity: tighter restrictions on heavy contact (no sling tackles, no charging/bumping, stricter high-contact penalties), often shorter quarters, and sometimes reduced ground size or team numbers.
- Rolling substitutions and flexible participation to suit varying fitness and availability.
- Family- and club-focused culture — social events, volunteer roles and spectating are all welcomed.
- Organized locally, regionally and nationally with clubs running training, games and events; specific rule sets vary by league, so check your local Masters/Superules competition or the Peninsula Raiders for exact rules.
The Peninsula Raiders brings together experienced players who value skill, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Our focus is enjoyment, fitness, and camaraderie — with competitive Super Rules fixtures on a biweekly schedule and regular midweek training to keep skills sharp. No pressure to play every match: join for training, social events, or as a supportive club member.
