All India Australian Rules Football Carnival & Footy Tour 2018
North India and Jaipur, 1 to 9 October 2018 The ‘All India Footy Carnival’ is a celebration of Aussie Rules Footy in India. The carnival uses a participation based model to bring together players from across India, Asia, and Australia, with the aim of building a sense of community around footy in India and creating linkages between India and Australia. People travelling to India with our contingent will have the opportunity to share skills and knowledge through playing, coaching, mentoring and running clinics during the carnival. We strongly encourage non-playing/coaching people to come along – there is a role for everyone. We would love to have more women involved and the fun/safe environment is perfect for parents and teenage kids to share a powerful footy/travel experience. In addition to footy activities you'll get a chance to visit a number of interesting Indian cities in the company of local footy players who will be proud to show you their home town. This is a deep immersion into the India experience with the common language of footy at its core. Proceeds from your visit go towards carnival costs and footy development in India. Your involvement is therefore not only a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit India and participate in an amazing footy carnival but also a chance to support the game's growth amongst economically disadvantaged young men and women.
