Capital District Minor Football Association

The Edmonton and District Football Officials Association will once again be holding a clinic on Sunday June 8 for junior officials. This is a training course for people who will be officiating games at the atom and peewee levels in CDMFA. In order to officiate at a game an individual must attend this one day course. Cost will be covered by CDMFA if you attend. If you book a spot and do not attend, the association will be billed the cost of manuals.

Please confirm your attendance by May 21 to edmontonchargers1@yahoo.ca. Please note the name of the participant as well as the name of the association they represent.

We need a minimum of 15 people for this clinic to happen. Participants should be 14 years of age and going into their second year of bantam.

The Edmonton Eskimos and Alberta Golden Bears Football Clubs have joined together to provide a skills/training camp for CDMFA Atom/Peewee players.

This year’s camp will take place at Clarke Park beginning on Monday, May 12^th and will conclude on Friday, May 16^th. Practice will start promptly at 4:30 pm and end at 6:00 pm each day. Eskimo and Golden Bears players will be guest coaching this controlled-contact teaching camp. CDMFA team coaching staff are welcome and encouraged to attend.

This camp is a teaching camp focussing on the fundamentals of football that will allow the players to better understand the game through mini games and skills stations. Drills and stations will not be position specific. 

Every Atom and Peewee team in the CDMFA may select two players to attend the camp. Athletes are able to participate in this camp at no cost. 

The Eskimos will supply each player with a souvenir jersey, each athlete is expected to bring his own equipment.  All helmets used in the Eskimos Amateur Football Camp must be NOCSAE approved and all other equipment shall be designed and manufactured by a professional manufacturer.

Any athlete who is attending the camp must be committed to attending each day of the full week of training.

Registration forms and liability waivers have been sent to the all team presidents and the Atom/Peewee VPs.  The information must be received by May 1, 2014 prior to the start of camp, not on the first day.

Once a player has been selected to attend, they must mail or drop off the registration materials to the Edmonton Eskimo administration office (Commonwealth Stadium 11000 Stadium Road, Edmonton, AB, T5H 4E2) to the attention of Nick Pelletier by May 1, 2014. PLEASE do not fax the form.  If you or your players have any questions, please feel free to contact Nick at (780) 448-1455.
