Gridiron (American Football)
Background
The Tuggeranong Tornadoes were established in 1993 and participated in the
first ACT Gridiron League season. Since then the Tornadoes have grown to
become the most successful and longest running club in the ACT and one of
the most recognised clubs in Australia. The club has won 4 of the last 6
ACTGL senior competitions and has also won 3 junior competitions.
Competition
The Tornadoes field a side in both the seniors and juniors competitions.
Seniors are played from August to November and are players aged 18+. The
junior competitions run from June to August for players between 15-17. A
third competition is also run which is "Flag football" for all age groups
and is non-contact. It is run from March to May each year and is a good way
to learn the sport.

shoulder pads and pants are loaned, while the more experienced players are
encouraged to purchase their own equipment.
