We already have 28 teams signed up for the Summer season just one week after registration began. Ideally this is a sign that we will be growing as a league for the summer! Keep in mind we will be playing a significant number of games out of Maple Grove this summer, Winnipeg's premier destination for outdoor athletic fields (and a lounge on site never hurts!).

We have also introduced a new coed division which already has four teams as well as a free agent team for each of men's, coed and flag! If you do want to participate in any of the free agent teams please contact us and we will add you to the team!
