The hunt for South Australia’s best kick is on.
Have you got what it takes?
HAVE YOU GOT THE BEST BOOT IN THE SOUTH?
The AFL and SANFL are on the hunt for South Australia’s best boot – and it all starts at your local club.
Score big, top your division, and you’ll get the chance to represent your club at the Regional Finals and maybe even claim state bragging rights at the 2026 Gather Round.
- Each competitor takes 10 kicks from set spots inside the forward 50.
- You have 2.5 minutes to complete all attempts.
- Standard AFL scoring applies: Goals = 6 points, Behinds = 1 point.
The highest total score after the 10 kicks wins.
Tied Results? The competition will move to a Golden Goal Shootout
- Only kicking spots 5 & 6 will be used for Golden Goal and the participant can choose their preference between 5 & 6.
- Both participants take a shot from their preferred kicking spot.
- If both participants miss the goal, they swap kicking positions between 5 & 6 and kick again. If both participants get the goal, they also swap positions between 5 & 6 and kick again. This continues until one player gets a goal and one player misses. The player with the goal is the overall top scorer. Please note that behinds are not relevant in Golden Goal shootout.
There are 4 divisions allowing a wide range of people to get involved
- Youth aged boys (14-17 year olds)
- Youth aged girls (14-17 year olds)
- Men (+18)
- Women (+18)
Participants can only compete in one division. Participants do not have be registered to play community football in 2026, we're looking for coaches, umpires, families and everyone involved with local footy to get involved.
Community Clubs across South Australia are hosting competitions throughout January and February 2026. You can select the club you want to participate in the registration form below or nominate your club to get involved. If you aren't affiliated with a club that's OK too, just provide your location and we will find your closest competition.
