102024 Fall Flag Football Registration

BMFA 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 8 and 18.

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.

The BMFA will be implementing a few new changes this year to ensure fair play within this House league:

  • Player skill levels will be a new addition within the registration that should be filled out accurately which will help convenors balance the teams.  This will avoid the need for tiering, changes to the field and game schedule and most of all will ensure the competition is fair across the divisions and teams
  • Full team roster requests submitted by coaches will not be granted automatically and players will be evaluated by convenors based on the designated skill level within the registration
  • A max of 2 friend requests names will be allowed when registering
  • We will look to associate teammates and coaches from the Spring 2024 Season to promote development and continuity
