Freo Dockers Shield (conducted May to August)

In 2012 primary schools that participate in an interschool one-day lightning carnival organised by either the schools in their District or conducted by their local WAFL Club will compete for the Freo Dockers Shield.

1. The games are played under the “AFL Junior Rules” for children aged 11 and 12 years.
2. The Carnival Shield to be awarded to the school that accumulates the most points based on the following criteria:

Game: Win 3 points

1 point deducted for each player sent off the field

Please note: Coordinators should contact their WAFC Football Development Officer to organise umpires. The district will endeavor to provide umpires but this may not be possible for all carnivals.
