What is the date?
The AFI Beach Footy 7s tournament will be held in Melbourne on Saturday 14, March 2026.
Where is the venue?
The venue is West Beach, St Kilda.
What is the format?
All matches are non-contact, with tackling behind replaced by a touch.
How many players per team?
Each team consists of 7 players – 5 players on the field, plus 2 interchange players. Beach Footy is fast paced, so you will definitely need the full 7 players!
What are the 4 Divisions?
Men’s Division – teams consist of 7 male players
Women’s Division – teams consist of 7 female players
Mixed Division – teams consist of 7 players (male & female)
Masters Division (over 35) – teams consist of 7 players (can be male, female or mixed)
I don’t have a team but am keen to play. Can you put me in a team?
Absolutely! You can register as an individual player here.
What is the cost?
The cost is only $60 per player. This is used to help cover the costs of running the event, which include venue hire, umpires, event staff, footballs, trophies & medals, filming and photographers. Our major aim is to ensure that all players and teams enjoy a fantastic day!
What do I need to bring?
All teams are required to supply their own playing tops, which can be a footy jumper, singlet or t-shirt. Shorts do not have to be the same, as long as your tops are all the same design and colour. Also, you do not have to wear shoes when you are playing – after all, we are on the beach!
