Calgary Bears Football Pathways

Calgary Bears Football is dedicated to introducing a true Olympic pathway program for 5v5 flag in Calgary. Leveraging years of Olympic sport management experience we focus on Stage 1-4 of the Long Term Athlete Development Program from Football Canada. Those Stages Are:

1. Active Start
2. FUNdamentals
3. Learn to Train
4. Train to Train

When it's time to start learning tackle football at 9, 10, 11 and 12 years of age, Football Canada suggests 9v9 to continue learning and developing the pass, catch and cover skills learned in flag.  The Bears will start introducing players to tackle in a safe and supportive way designed to encourage all aspects of the game. 

At Calgary Bears Football, we are part of the Calgary PeeWee Football Association. This focuses players aged 11 and 12 on the fundamentals of the Canadian game. A revised rule package encourages development of teamwork, perseverance and grit. There is a position for everyone, small and big, short and tall, fast and lumbering. Come check it out!
