Summer 2021 Registration Information

Posted Sun May 30, 2021 - 02:07 PM

Summer 2021 Season Information:

OUTDOOR DIVISIONS (Note we will be bringing our indoor 5 v 5 outside this summer to aid with social distancing requirements):
Season Starts: Monday July 5th (weather permitting)
Season Ends: Sunday September 26th (weather permitting)
Registration Deadline: Friday June 25th
All teams make playoffs
All costs include GST and Insurance

7 v 7 Cost: $1250 (regulation sized outdoor fields)
5 v 5 Cost: $1050 (coed and touch, regulation sized indoor fields, but played outdoors)
Season length: 10 games
All teams make playoffs (11 games guaranteed)

We kindly request teams to register their teams on the website early so that we can book the correct number of fields. Booking fields takes some time and we are organizing in a short time frame. We appreciate your help as we ramp up our summer season quicker than usual!

Teams must submit signed waiver forms prior to the season starting. Waiver forms can be sent to PITwaivers@hotmail.com or and can be found here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/league_files Anyone who filled out a waiver form in the Spring will be covered for the Summer season. Only players who did not participate in the Spring will need to fill out a waiver.

If for whatever reason the league cannot complete the season, a prorated amount will be based on 11-games (10 regular season games, plus one guaranteed playoff game). Based on our discussions with Manitoba Health, we hope to enjoy a full season beginning after July long weekend.

We have some incredible sponsors this summer, including the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Original 16 Beer, Four Crowns Restaurant and Lounge, Capital K distillery, and Swiss Chalet! The shorter season should provide some great action, and we hope it will bring in some of our indoor teams or new teams to check out the action in an abbreviated season with significantly lower cost.

Additional information regarding 5 v 5 football:
Our 5 on 5 divisions will be run on indoor sized fields but painted on outdoor fields to help reduce the risks of social gatherings. All intermediate and recreational skill levels are welcome. Do not be alarmed that we only have five 5 on 5 divisions listed so far (plus coed). We can expand divisions based on registration. There is no competitive division offered, we want to ensure we have a division for where most of our indoor teams play (intermediate and recreational). The 5 on 5 divisions will be a great time with lots of parity among teams. Contact us if you have any concerns about where your team may fit in. You can also help decide your schedule. We play every day of the week (excluding long weekends and Bomber home games). Don't like weekend games in the summer? Then play weekdays. Busy two nights of the week, book them off! We can create a schedule tailored to your team's requests.

Teams are required to read the back-to-play rules here: https://pit.redzoneleagues.com/menu/summer-2021-information

We look forward to getting everyone back out on the field in a fun and safe environment.
