2026 Sring Flag Football Registration

 

BMFA House Leaguge Flag Football

 

The Burlington Minor Football Association (BMFA) has designed a Flag Football program to give youth throughout Burlington and the surrounding communities an opportunity to participate in exciting and fast-paced Flag Football! Our non-contact flag football program is open to all athletes between the ages of 6 and 17.

Games are played with 5 players from each team on the field at a time.

 Games are played on turf fields and officiated by referees from the Southern Ontario Touch Football Officials Association (SOFTOA) and staffed with personnel capable of providing first aid and treatment for on-field injuries.

Each player will receive a uniform and equipment consisting of a team jersey, shorts, a flag belt and a mouthguard.

Friend Requests

Friend requests are a major component to the BMFA Flag Football League which will continue.  Upon registration, please be sure to include the full names of your friends that you would like to be teamed up with for the season.  Convenors will do their best to accommodate these requests as much as possible but please keep in mind that it is never a guarantee.

• A max of 2 friend requests will be allowed when registering.
• Friend requests have to be reciprocal/mutual

Team Structure & Competitiveness

• The BMFA will be implementing a few new changes as well this year to ensure fair play within this House League:
• NO REP FLAG FOOTBALL players will be permitted to play in BMFA House League (Individuals included). This includes any of the current BMFA Rep Players and any “Tournament Team” Players.
• NO FULL TEAM SUBMISSIONS – After feedback, we will not be accepting pre-built or full team registrations.
• Maximum of 3 returning players (including coaches children) on the same team. No more than 3 players who have previously played together may be placed on the same roster. 
• Maximum of 3 friend requests will be placed on 1 team. Friend Chains will no longer be allowed. Convenors will automatically break up the group to maintain balance.
• Teams will be structured by the convener of each division. 
• Various items are taken into consideration when structuring teams (i.,e. Friend requests, self-assessment/player rating, coaches rating in fall). 
• Tiering divisions will still take place but will be saved till playoffs.
