The Fort Lauderdale Fighting Squids are always looking to recruit new players and supporters.

It doesn't matter what your level of fitness, or skill, we can introduce you to the basics needed to enjoy Australian Rules Football. You don't need to be Australian - we encourage everyone to come out and join us. The Squids consist of a mix of Australians, Americans, South Africans and a New Zealanders.

Our Footy season runs from mid Jan til early November -- a period of 9 months. We practice and play in downtown Fort Lauderdale. This is a great membership package and one of the lowest priced in the country. We thank you for your continual support and dedication.

The athletes of the Fighting Squids offer a piece of Australia right here in the United States. It is by your support and dedication that we as a club are able to continue to put forth these events. With all of the recent national coverage as well as the announcement of the new stadium, now is the best time ever to be a player. There are a few levels of Player membership and costs associated with each level. Players who gain sponsorship at the $100, $250, or >$400 level will receive certain benefits, the least of which is a waiving of dues.

All players are welcome to practice regardless of their payment status. Players are welcome to there first scratch match at no cost as an assistance to help with recruiting. In order to play a standard match against another squad, ALL players must pay their United States Australian Football League membership fee (which also qualifies them for nationals tournament at no additional cost) as well as the appropriate level of club dues.

· PLAYERS - $100

· PLAYERS/STUDENT/BOAT CREW - $80
