What is it like to be a Raven?  Football is an amazing team sport with a position for everyone!  Our amazing volunteer coaching staff will evaluate your child and determine the best position based on their ability and likes.  The Raven players build camaraderie through team practices and game play, viewing team film and of course, the long bus ride to and from Edmonton for road games!

Football is a contact sport and players will be evaluated for safe contact practices, ie safe tackling skills, prior to game play.  Our coaches adhere to Football Alberta minor football coaching requirements. At the U16 level, players will continue to learn football fundamentals, teamwork and sportsmanship, as they develop into young athletes.
