AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOTBALL FOR VETERANS
Superules is Aussie Rules for the over 35's (you must turn 35 by year end to register) with thirty teams competing throughout
the metropolitan area in three divisions. The season consists of 11 games plus finals, and games are played every second Sunday
for premiership points.
The relegation system is in place with the premiers in Division 2 and Division 3 promoted,
and the bottom team relegated from Division 1 and Division 2. Diamond Valley has been very successful over the years winning
ten Division 1 premierships in the period of the competition's existence.
Diamond Valley also has a Masters side (Over
40's) that competes in a separate competition not played for premiership points. There are 18 Masterules teams in the
competition.
In 2008, Diamond Valley fielded a Veterans side (Over 47's) for the first time, and its popularity has grown so fast
that in 2010 we have started a second Veteran's team. As with the Masters, the Veteran's games are not played
for premiership points. This is a growing competition, and in 2010 there are 15 clubs fielding over-47's teams.
Old footballers never die, they just run a little bit slower!
The Club's home ground is at Heidelberg Park, Heidelberg
(Melway 32 Ç4) where club members and guests enjoy excellent playing and social facilities. Training is every Thursday night
starting at 6:30pm.
Diamond Valley is a family-orientated club where everyone is welcome. The annual Family Day
is always held at the first home game of the season so check the News & Events page for more information. Wives,
girlfriends and children all enjoy the excellent social club facilities at the ground. The Club also runs a chicken and champagne
luncheon during the season giving the opportunity for new members to get to know each other in a casual and relaxed environment.
For those who are interested, the Club is always looking for guys/gals to assist at games as officials. Contact
a committee member to express your interest.
