PHILOSOPHY
Brampton Minor Football Association (BMFA) philosophy is not to win at all costs. It is to develop a winning attitude through good coaching, teaching good football skills, fair and safe play, team play and achieving common goals.

SPONSORSHIP
Players are required to pay a $50.00 sponsorship fee at the time of registration. All players are expected to seek a sponsorship of at least $50.00 and a business card from the sponsor. When sponsorship has been received by BMFA, you will have 50% of your sponsorship fee returned to you up to the full registration amount. (Ask a BMFA Representative for details.)

Does Varsity football require extensive travel? Buses are provided to take players to away games and return them to Chinguacousy Park in all divisions and both leagues.

Is it possible for a new player to break into the Varsity system? It certainly is!!! Coaches are always looking for players to improve their teams. Although playing time during games is not guaranteed, regardless of your athlete's experience, they will definitely get a fair opportunity. Coaches are looking for players they can develop as opposed to a quick fix. This attitude will strengthen our whole program from the bottom up and help prepare young athletes for their lives ahead.

Why not take a shot a achieving a higher level of excellence in their chosen sport?

THIS IS A REP. PROGRAM AND YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE THE TEAM.
PLAYING TIME IS NOT GUARANTEED.

Now Accepted.
