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.
