Online registration for the 2024 First Down Program is now open. First Down is open to everyone born on or between 2017 and 2020.
The First Down program, an initiative of Football Canada, is a non-contact program for all children and provides a great introduction to the game of football through age-appropriate games and drills in a safe, fun environment.
The eight one-hour sessions develop fundamental movement skills like running, throwing, catching, and kicking. The program incorporates football-related movements, activities, and skills to help build physical literacy.
Our program lasts four weeks and is conducted entirely at our field in Steinbach. The program does not require the participant to provide any equipment.
Total Fees
The fee for the 2024 First Down Program is $99.
Schedule
The program runs twice a week for 4 weeks in June with sessions from 6.30 pm until 7.30 pm actual dates to be determined.
