New This Season:
The Winnipeg High School Football League divisions have been expanded from one to two divisions to accommodate different levels of skills/different age groupings. In addition, we will be offering a non-contact/no blocking flag division for those 18+. Flag football is the fastest growing subfield of football in Canada with provincial, national, and world championships being held. Be part of this new and growing sport which has been selected to the shortlist of new sports for the Olympics! Most of the rules are the very similar to touch except for three downs for twenty yards rather than three for 10 (and of course flagging instead of touch which brings some tackle jukes into play!). Check out the rules here: http://footballcanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/FlagRB_secure.pdf
