FAQs

What’s the difference between Football Manitoba and NFL Flag?
 NFL Flag offers a comprehensive program that includes games, structured practices, and classroom sessions focused on player development, strategy, and football IQ. Our expert coaches, who are leaders in high-performance training and professional athletes themselves, set us apart from recreational leagues that typically have non-professional coaches. This holistic approach ensures that athletes are not just playing, but also developing essential skills and gaining a deeper understanding of the game. In contrast, Football Manitoba primarily focuses on games with less emphasis on developmental practices and strategic learning.

Does this conflict with Football Manitoba's fall flag season?
No, there is no conflict. There is a minimum of one hour between the end of Football Manitoba's flag games and the start of NFL Flag practices.

Is two hours of physical activity healthy for kids this age?
Yes, two hours of physical activity is beneficial for children. It promotes cardiovascular health, muscle strength, coordination, and mental well-being. With proper supervision, hydration, and rest breaks, structured physical activity helps children build endurance and develop healthy habits that support long-term fitness and focus.

What if I miss the registration deadline?
Late registrations will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may involve an additional fee.

Can I get a refund?
Refunds are available up to two weeks before the season starts. After that, registration fees are non-refundable.
