AFL 9s Rules
The game commences with a ball up.
After a goal, play is restarted in the centre of the field via a ball up.
If a behind (1 point) is scored the ball is required to be kicked back into play from
between the goals by a defender.
When the ball goes out of bounds (ball completely over the line) by hand or foot, the
nearest opponent shall kick the ball back into play.
If there is any doubt as to which team last touched the ball before it went out of
bounds, the umpire shall call a ball-up 5 metres in from the boundary line.
If a turnover occurs the game stops and the opposing team gains possession of the
ball from where the ball went out of bounds.
Players may attempt to intercept the ball in flight, however must not make contact
with an opposing player.
A player is not permitted to touch an opponent unless the player is in possession of
the ball.
A player may stay in possession of the ball for a maximum distance of 30 metres
involving one bounce unless the player is touched with one or two hands (touch) or
directed to dispose of the football by the umpire
A Mark is awarded if, in the opinion of the umpire, a player catches or takes control of the
football after it has been kicked by another player irrespective of the distance travelled.
No player (except for the player on the mark) may be closer than 2 metres away in
any direction.
It is not a mark if the ball touches the ground or has been touched by another player
during the period when the ball was kicked until it was caught or controlled by the
player.
When a player is awarded a Mark or Free Kick an opposing player may stand at the
position on the playing surface where the mark or free kick was awarded known as
“the mark”
There is to be absolutely no contact in a marking contest. The player in the position
where the ball is expected to drop is given every opportunity to mark the ball.
AFL 9s Rules
The player taking the mark will have a reasonable opportunity to dispose of the ball or
play on. If he/she delays the umpire will place a five-second count for play to resume.
Only designated forwards can kick for goal within their forward scoring zone. This can
be during general play by receiving a kick or handball; or upon marking the ball and
taking a set shot for goal. A designated forward may kick for goal from a from a Free
Kick (initiating contact, holding the ball etc. but not from a turnover from either the
ball hitting the ground or going out of bounds. To be eligible to shoot from a set shot,
the player kicking for goal must be inside the scoring zone.
The field umpire will be the sole judge of whether the kick for goal was successful.
When a player in possession of the ball is touched by an opponent but deemed to
have ‘no prior opportunity’, the umpire will call TOUCH and the player must kick or
handpass within two steps or two seconds. Failure to do so will result in a free kick
being awarded to the opposing team.
When a player in possession of the ball is deemed to have had ‘prior opportunity’ to
dispose of it when touched by an opposing player, the umpire will award a Free Kick to
the opposing team.
When a player is moving while in possession of the ball he/she must bounce the ball
or touch it on the ground after 15 metres. A player in possession may bounce the ball
only once. He/she must dispose of it by hand or foot and may not touch it again until
it has been touched by another player.
The ball must be disposed of by a handball or kick (as per the Laws of Australian
Football). Players are not permitted to throw or hand the ball to another player or a
free kick will be awarded to the opposing team.
