Tackle Football Registration - Pathway to Competition
Registration for 2023 will Open on June 14th
This season our Junior Bantam, Bantam, and Midget players will partake in our 'Raiders Pathway to Competition' weekly practices on Tuesday and Thursday. This will include group conditioning and skill development lead by our seasoned coaching staff, as well as individual teamwork for each level.
Registration for Bantam and Midget teams must be completed prior to July 31st to ensure team declarations are made to the league by the deadline.
2023 Junior Bantam Tackle Football (Born 2010-2011)
This co-ed, contact football program is for all players aged 12-13. In this division the focus is on safe contact and starting more position specific skill development. Players will continue to learn football fundamentals, teamwork and sportsmanship, as they develop into young athletes. We will join the VICFA league and play games across the Island.
Based on our registration during 2022, we are anticipating two Jr Bantam teams again this season. The players will spend August conditioning, learning skills, performing drills, and will be assessed by the coaching staff before being assigned to a team at the end of the month (Silver (rep) or Red (house)). Practices will bring all players together to condition and run drills and end with players working with their team. While Team Silver will have a greater focus on committment and competition, football is meant to be fun for all players, so parents will be asked during registration to let us know if you prefer your child to play on Team Red.
All player equipment and jerseys will be provided – players must provide their own cleats, mouth guard, water bottle.
