SPRING FOOTBALL (CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN GRADE 9, 10, OR 11)

 

Calgary Chiefs Spring Football is for Players currently in grade 9, 10, or 11 who live in the SE region of the greater Calgary area. Football at this level is highly competitive, bringing together elite talent from 5+ High Schools and 14 Middle Schools/Junior Highs. 

Our goals are:

  1. Provide opportunity for elite/top talent players to showcase their talents in game situations. Not all players will receive equal game play or field time. 
  2. Ensure that all players receive coaching and practice opportunities for greater success in high school football. 

Try-outs take place in February. Players who are cut will receive a refund on most of their season fees, less insurance and try-out costs. 

For 2024, we will have 2 teams:

  1.  Calgary Chiefs Game team will be 40-50 players who demonstrate the top talent at a High School level in their respective positions. 
  2. Calgary Chiefs Developmental team will practice with the game team, play in Jamborees and exhibition games. Our goal is to help these athletes improve their football skills and athleticism. Players who consistently demonstrate growth, sportsmanship and are highly coachable may be offered the opportunity to play on the Game team. 

2024 fees: $600.  (reduced fee for Developmental team)
