Play Flag Football!

Due to overwhelming demand, our 2024 Spring Flag Football season is now closed for registration. We have reached capacity at all age groups.

Open to all skills levels! Whether your new to flag football or you’ve already got a few touchdowns under your belt, this game is fun and competitive for everyone!

 Players are on the field on Saturdays between 10am - 4pm for 90 minutes. Which includes a practice and one game 

Flag football provides the best opportunity for skill development, improving football fundamentals, emphasizing proper technique over physicality and learning to make plays.  It's a great way to learn team work, in a safe, non-contact environment.

FRIEND REQUESTS
We understand the importance of camaraderie on the field, and that's why we offer the option for ONE friend request during the registration process. When signing up, be sure to include the full name of the friend you'd like to team up with for the upcoming season.
To ensure a successful pairing, it's essential that the request is reciprocated by your friend. While our convenor will make every effort to accommodate your request, please keep in mind that it's not always guaranteed. We appreciate your understanding. 


Why Play Flag Football?

Flag football gives every participant the chance to be an impact player and learn multiple positions.
Kids of all sizes can throw and catch the ball, make interceptions, pull flags on defense and run for touchdowns – all while having fun, making friends, and staying active.
Children learn football skills while understanding the importance of maintaining good form and footwork.
Flag football provides more playing time, more involvement in the action and a greater coach-to-player ratio.

In one flag football game, with much smaller player rosters, they are going to get alot of opportunities to touch the ball and make plays It teaches  players the proper way to run a route and what happens when everyone does their job at the right time.
Flag football is a non-contact sport that also requires the same focus and concentration as traditional tackle football.
This gradual progression of skills ensures optimal athletic and tactical development.

What About the "Big" Kids?

A common question we hear is "What about the bigger kids or linemen? How do they benefit from flag football"?
Our answer is that flag football is for players of all sizes and abilities. Every player can benefit from focusing on proper form, technique and staying active.

With flag football, players of all sizes can develop important football skills on both sides of the ball,  as well as learning strategy, reading plays, and building self confidence.
Football Canada's Long -Term Athlete Development Model has also determined that it is essential to develop broad-based skills and abilities before specializing in one position.

COACHES

All coaches are volunteer parents and we need your help!

The time commitment required is very low as practice is on the same day as the games.
We provide all the play books as well as assistance in the skills and drills to teach the players.\
