Halifax Argos Football Club

The Halifax Argos are a non-profit youth tackle football association, who strive to make team sports, phyisical literacy, and hard work accessible to anyone interested in the sport of tackle football. We turn no one away for financial reasons, and we do community outreach to find people who may need something like football in their lives.

The registration cost (for us) is 300 for Bantam, Peewee, and Atom, and 200 for Mites. There is also an 80$ fee from Football Nova Scotia and Football Canada which covers membership to them, and their insurance. There is also a small transaction fee for online payments. We accept cash, cheque, or credit card payments through Teamlinkt. KidSport JumpStart, and North End Opportunities Fund, are 3 funding programs you can use to pay for your registration fee. If you're going to use one of them, please let us know. If you need a different funding option, please tell us. We always want to support people to play regardless of financial barriers.

Our Season: The Football Nova Scotia Youth Tackle League (FNSYTL) plays in the Fall months (season starts the last week of August, playoffs end in mid-November).

Preparation for the season begins with July training once per week, then Training Camp 2-3 times per week. This is also the practice schedule for the rest of the season and playoffs, though there are cancellations and holidays.

Practices times: Bantam and Peewee practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Atom and Mites practice Tuesday, Thursday.

The Teamlinkt App: One parent per family needs to use the Teamlinkt App to see practice locations, and get alerts about schedule changes.

The location for all practices will be generally be on the Halifax Peninsula (e.g.  North Commons, South Commons, Merv Sullivant aka THE PIT), or at Mainland Common Turf in Clayton Park.

We provide the gear (helmet, shoulder pads, jerseys, pants, leg padding, mouthguard) except for cleats and gloves. Cleats are required but gloves are not (but players like them).
