We are excited to announce that this fall, instead of our usual flag football season, we are looking to launch Woodstock's first U14 tackle football team. This is an exciting first step in building a full tackle football program in our community â and we need your help to make it happen!
Key Details
Who: U14 players (must not turn 14 before December 31, 2025)
Season: Late August to late October (approx. 8 weeks)
Practices: All practices will be held in the Woodstock area
Games: We're aiming for 4â5 games in Fredericton on Wednesday nights
Registration: Through CAMFA, who will also provide helmets and pads (link provided below)
app.teamlinkt.com/register/find/camfa
Cost: Around half of the regular $350 fee ( don't worry about the fees right now we just need kids to register to get an idea on the number of kids interested)
Format: 20â25 players = 9 vs 9
Fewer than 20 players = 6 vs 6
We will continue to offer flag football in the spring, but this fall tackle program gives players a new and exciting opportunity to take the next step.
What We Need From Parents
Assessing Interest: Please message us direct if your child is interested in playing.
Coaching Support: We are looking for parents or community members interested in coaching or helping out â no previous tackle football experience required.
Spread the Word: Please forward this email or share the info with any families you think may be interested in joining.
Important Message to Parents & Players:
Football is a position-based team sport, and it's important that players understand from the beginning that not everyone will be a quarterback or receiver. Some players will play primarily on the offensive or defensive line, and others may focus on defence only. Every position is valuable, and each player contributes to the success of the team.
That said, football is truly one of the most inclusive sports â there's a role for everyone, regardless of size, speed, or athletic background. Whether your child is strong, fast, strategic, or simply loves the game â we'll find the right spot for them.
We're looking forward to building something great for young athletes in our area, and we hope your family will be a part of it.
Thank you,
Coach Nick Gionet
