Exciting news on a Monday! is officially joining the Football Manitoba family!
Beginning on Monday, June 6, this five week, seven-versus-eight league for high school athletes offers the same immersive experience that Pro Prep athletes have come to expect, while integrating the stability of Football Manitoba’s highly-successful programming.
“Football Manitoba continuously strives to offer opportunities for young players in the province. An opportunity to offer seven-versus-eight football to our high school-aged flag players was one we simply could not refuse,” said Football Manitoba Executive Director Bill Johnson.
“I look forward to more youth playing the great game of football under the umbrella of Football Manitoba!”
“Pro Prep Academy is excited to be officially partnering with Football Manitoba on a seven-versus-eight flag football league,” added Pro Prep founder .
“We have spent the past three years establishing our league as the most competitive on the circuit amongst the student-athletes in our football community. We will continue to put the athletes first in providing a first-class experience and believe that in joining Football Manitoba we will collectively serve our flag community as expected.”
Registration and sanctioning will be done through Football Manitoba and all games will take place at Dakota Collegiate’s Murray Field, running from 5:30-8 pm three days a week. Once again there will be two age divisions, one for junior varsity and one for varsity. Athletes will be featured on Pro Prep’s social media channels every single day during the season, with an emphasis on promotion and exposure (including a weekly mic’d up segment and pre and post-game interviews), while the well-received all-star game and year-end awards return for 2022.
This seven-versus-eight league is a great way for high school athletes to prepare for tackle football. It’s highly competitive, fun and offers teams a chance to run their systems and develop chemistry with their teammates. Registration opens this week at footballmanitoba.com ($240 plus tax). Don’t miss out on the best flag football experience in the country, sign up now!
