Prospective Under 18 Team Manitoba Players and their Families,

First and foremost, with the start of Phase 1 of the selection process upcoming, I would like to say how excited I am to see the myriad of talent this province has to offer this year. Between our returning players, the players who have stepped up from last year and the addition of players from last year’s Red River Cup, Manitoba is in great position to medal at the 2014 Canada Cup.

Wednesday, April 2, 2014

The MGFA (Manitoba Girls Football Association) is still accepting registration for the spring 2014 season (May, June and possibly early July). The MGFA is the only full-contact football league for girls aged 9-16 in the world.
Dear Prospective U16 Athlete,

The staffs of the two Under-16 Regional Teams, Team Black & Team Gold are very excited to begin the development & evaluation process this upcoming Saturday, April 5.

The Evaluation Process will occur over the first 2 phases, which happen in April, and late May.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014

After review by the Executive of the Board of Directors:

Football Manitoba is reinstating the sanction for the Sports University Spring Football Program.

This was done as Sports University has complied with the requirements of sanctioning under the “Camps and Special Events” requirement of our policies. The organization has adjusted advertising on the Sports University website and has made some revision of the camp activities. The same number of contact dates should be in effect. This was the original guideline that sanction was granted under in the fall.

Clarification for participants and parents.

Sports University is operating as a camp. The organization cannot operate as a league in that it is a policy requirement of Football Manitoba that leagues must join as members by applying at an AGM. Any application is voted upon by the general membership. This was agreed upon at the January 2014 Board meeting attended by Mr. D. Lytle of Sports University.

As a camp, Sports University cannot have a schedule that features named teams, standings, player records, official scores, holds playoffs, or conducts a championship. Practices and scrimmages that develop skills are allowed, and players can be given recorded feedback of a statistical nature. This would be in the form of a personal report card and not a published list of statistics.

With sanction, the Football Manitoba insurance program with Sport Manitoba will be in effect.

Under 18 Football Players of Manitoba,

With the start of Phase 1 of the U18 Provincial Program fast approaching (April 15th, 2014), I would like to take an opportunity to encourage you to register. There are reasons to come out to the program no matter what level of development you feel you are at, and some of these reasons are new to the process.
First and foremost, the Provincial Program is and always has been a great place for players to develop under great coaches while competing against some of the best talent the province has to offer. Individual skills, one on one competition, and passing/running/12-on-12 competition sessions with an emphasis on coaching are a large part of the Phase 1 process. Coming out to the program will make you better, your home program better and the province better.

Football Manitoba is currently seeking an Executive Director.

The deadline to apply for this position is 12:00 noon., Wednesday, February 5th , 2014. For more information about this position please read the job posting.

Wednesday, January 22, 2014



110 x 65.

That is where football players exist. That is where we learn commitment, dedication, perseverance and strength. For football players that lined field, marked carefully 110 x 65 yards, that’s all that matters.

Tuesday, January 21, 2014

Prospective Under 18 Team Manitoba Players and their Families,

Due to the resignation of Football Manitoba’s Technical Director of Football Operations, the Under 18 Provincial program is altering its Phase 1 structure. While we believe that there was a great opportunity to develop the athletes through off-season training programs, the need for a member of Football Manitoba’s office to oversee these developmental sessions is too great. As such, the U18 program will be eliminating the Recruit Ready training practices as well as the Elite performance Phase 1 strength and conditioning programs.

Phase 1 for the 2014 U18 selection process will officially begin with practice for all registered players on April 15th, 2014 and cost $225.00.

This will allow Football Manitoba time to find a capable replacement for the vacant position, to allow players to continue to register for the program, and to help alleviate costs for current and potential players.

Any families who have already registered and paid for Phase 1 will be contacted directly by a representative of Football Manitoba to discuss the changes.

Despite these unforeseen circumstances, Football Manitoba is excited about the Under 18 Provincial Team and looks forward to competing for Gold in Saskatoon this upcoming July.

Friday, January 10, 2014

The executive and board of Football Manitoba invite all interested members and member groups to an information night at the Sport for Life Centre, 145 Pacific Avenue in Conference Room "A" on Thursday, February 6, 2014 at 7:00 p.m.
