The Wasatch WarGulls is a west region team in the Australian rules football in the United States under the USAFL (United States Australian Football League).[1]
History
[edit]The WarGulls were conceived in 2019, making the WarGulls the 45th team[2] to join the USAFL. Although founded in 2019, the club didn’t become active until 2021. They are based in Salt Lake City, Utah[3]. The club is currently composed of a Division 5 men' team and players who compete in Division 1 & 2 womens.
Naming
[edit]The Wasatch (WAH-satch) name represents a number of major municipalities in the northern part of the state[4], including Salt Lake City, Provo, and Ogden, from which their players hail. The WarGulls name is an homage to the Willamstown Seagulls of the Victorian Football League.
