AFLQ has released the amendments for the 2020 season and forthcoming return to play, starting from July 10 for our Junior teams and July 17 for our Youth teams. There are some significant changes to game day operations and how we will go about 'game days'. In order to help everyone understand the changes, we have compiled the key changes for you here so all members are well informed.
