Provincial U18 Spring League Football Starts Monday April 8th


Good Afternoon Varisty Kats Parents!

A reminder that Football New Brunswick's Provincial U18 Football Spring League program starts on Monday April 8th.  Some of you  have already registered, however; please see the links below for the spring schedule.

About Spring League Program:

This is the only spring league football program for Varsity aged players born in 1996 & 1997 and it runs April 8th through May 12th.

There will be three regional teams formed this year (Fredericton / Moncton / Saint John), each team will play three games and practice twice during the week. Sundays will be either a game day or an additional practice.

The Fredericton Area team will be primarily coached by the UNB Red Bombers coaches, with most practices at Scotia Park South.  The program is a development program for those student athletes that want to improve their football skills and may want to play football at University level following graduation.
  
2013 Provincial U18 Team NB & Football Canada Cup:

Although the Spring League program is a development program, FNB's Provincial U18 Team NB coaches will be inviting selected players from each region to the U18 Team selection camp at Mt. A in late May to compete for a spot on the 2013 Provincial U18 Team that will play at the 2013 Football Canada Cup July 15-21 in Moncton.

The Varsity Kats had great representation on 2012 Provincial Team and there were at least 12 Fredericton Area players that were selected for the final 40 man roster that played at the 2012 Canada Cup in London, ON.  It was a good mix of Jr and Sr age players.

To date, 15 Sr players from the 2012 team will be playing CIS level football in the fall of 2013 and others have opted to stay closer to home and will be playing for Red Bombers and Seawolves in the fall.
