No, some teams are Italian, some a Greek, etc...

This is less of a problem around Sydney where some multi-ethnic teams have been started.

Also it is not really a problem until the kids get older and hopefully by then the teams may have become more inclusive.

Re: Football

I have to say that I am deeply saddened by football fans saying that they would rather watch Aussie Rules because it is more "exciting". Games can be over before half time (by some distance) and I can't get into the whole "kick, catch, stop, kick, catch, stop" that makes up most of the game. The hand passes just look like they are rubbish at throwing the ball

.

To the original poster, I think that any City in Australia will have football clubs/coaching for kids as, like America, it seems to be a popular sport for kids upto 11-12. You may find that your kids actually like Aussie Rules more than football. Me, I would rather eat my own earwax than watch Aussie Rules

There will be plenty of clubs for you to choose from so he wont have to change codes and with Australia finally getting to the World Cup it's popularity will just keep on growing.
