Welcome to the home page of the American Revolution. The Revolution is an All-Star team of Americans from around the country playing Australian Football and competing with national teams from around the world.

The Revolution selection committee utilized statistics and playing performances of players during the East v. West tournament, USA v. Canada, and the US Nationals played in Atlanta.

Since the successful East/West 2004, a squad of 67 was selected for the Canada game in August 2004 and training camps for spring 2005.

The Canada weekend was very successful. Major News is the appointment of Greg Narleski as the new team manager, welcome aboard Greg.

In the past few months Training Camps have been held in Phoenix, March 19, 20, Chicago April 2, 3 and Denver April 9, 10. 16-24 players attended each camp to help prepare for the International Cup in August.  The Denver camp had the Revolution players participating in the fitness and skills testing of Collingwood and Denver football clubs.

All weekends involved players manual, team rules (on and off field), set plays, formal fitness testing, formal skills testing, training drills, video, and metro style game. From my perspective these weekends were extremely beneficial.

East Vs. West was also a successful weekend in Dallas for the Revolution.  As an International Cup year, this was earlier than ideal, but a necessary evil.  After the E/W game: the coaching panel and selectors selected a squad of 35 to attend the International Cup.  A training session was held the following morning essentially go over the same things as the training camps.
