The PIT is proud to announce the opening of the 2017 summer registration. 2017 will be our ninth season of outdoor football and our first partnering with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. We are very excited for the investment the Bombers have made in the league to help promote the game of touch and flag football at the grassroots level. As part of this investment all teams will play at least one regular season game at Investors Group Field (assuming your team does not request days at IGF off) with all championship games and the Team Captain’s All-Star game also held at IGF! PIT members will also receive exclusive discounts on Bomber merchandise and game day tickets and the league will be featured on BlueBombers.com!
The PIT has also forged exclusive contracts with Maple Grove Rugby Park to play games at Winnipeg’s premier outdoor sports complex. We have also partnered with North Winnipeg Nomads to play games at Frank Whyte the premier football field in the Northern part of the city. Boston Pizza will offer exclusive membership benefits including free large pizzas for all registered teams and draws for free jerseys to teams in each season. Teams will receive all of these added incentives to play at no additional charge! Registration costs will remain the same as last summer. Our mandate is to get as many people playing touch and flag football regardless of age, gender or skill level and we are very excited about the changes in the direction of the league to help promote the game.
