Premiership Player
as an example, QLD u9's play 4x10min quarters.
the ground is split into 3 zones. 4 players in each zone per side. so there is 8 players in total in each zone.
absolutely no tackling allowed. a player can grab a guernsey and release instantly and the ump counts to 3, in which time the ball carrier must release the ball or a penalty is awarded to the other side.
so on average the ball is in each zone for 13 minutes per game. 8 players must share that ball.

id like to know if AT CLUB LEVEL, not AUSKICK, that weekend club football in u9s, VIC has the same rules as what i have just described for QLD club AFL players?
if not...WHY?
