Australian Rules football, or 'footy' as it is colloquially known, is a non-stop thrill - a fast, competitive, physical, and high scoring team game.
In its first three years of competition at the National level the Minnesota Freeze have had remarkable success by winning two championships; Division 3 in 2005 and Division 2 in 2007. Coupled with that on-field success has been the outstanding growth both on and off the field, as it has developed from a team into a fun social club as well.
If you are looking to get involved in sports, looking for something new or perhaps just want to see what footy is all about: join the Minnesota Freeze Footy Club today. New Players Are Always Welcome!!!
We have programs for men and women that cater to all levels of participation: local, National, and International competition. No prior experience is necessary. We have three local teams, comprised of players from various backgrounds, ages, and nationalities that scrimmage against each other throughout the season in a Metro League.
We encourage everyone to come down to Lake Nokomis for our weekly training and join us for a kick.
With an open and welcoming Metro League, a highly competitive team in the Mid-American Australian Football League (MAAFL), and a winning national team, there is much to like about being involved with The Freeze.
“Join for the fun athletic competition! Stay for the camaraderie!” This is the message the USAFL will be sending when it launches it’s new advertising campaign on Fox Soccer PLUS this weekend. The ad is aimed at recruiting new players to our great sport all across the USA. Read more »

The Minnesota Freeze have secured the new University of Minnesota Student Rec Sports Dome on March 30. The women will be using half the space for their Fitness through Footy session and asked if they club wanted to rent the full space so the guys can do their own recruiting workout!
"You bet" was the response and now the Freeze will have exclusive use to beat the Minnesota winter into submission.
The dome is 85 yards wide by 120 yards long and has a maximum height of 75 feet. This gives each team 85x60 yards to train hard. Read more »

When Jason Alvey moved to the United States in 2001, he had to get used to plenty of new things, including a different way of playing football.
Alvey, the owner and founder of St. Louis Park craft beer store The Four Firkins, is a native Australian, so naturally, he grew up a fan of Australian rules football.
One last chance to wish Matt Cattell, our recent MN Freeze President, a farewell before he and his family head back to Australia.
We will be meeting at Cooper Irish Pub in the West End in St. Louis park on Thursday, August 30th at 6:00pm. Please come out and join the club in wishing Matt a few farewells and thank yous before he heads back to Australia.
