Prince Albert Minor Football

Jul 17, 2015 | 1:39 PM

This Sunday, July 19th, three bantam River Riders football players and their parents will be helping with a fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital Foundation at the Cornerstone Co-Op Gas Bar from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

They will be helping serve ice cream cones, which will be sold for $1.00 each, with the proceeds going to the Foundation.

Two Roughriders will also be there: Running Back Anthony Allen and Offensive Lineman, Dan Clark. Come eat some ice cream for a good cause, and meet two Roughriders! Thank you Cara Stelmaschuk from the Co-op for inviting some representatives of PA Minor Football to be part of this event.

There are just two weeks left to take advantage of the $75.00 early registration discount being offered for this fall’s pee wee (age 10 to 12) and bantam (age 13 & 14) football season. All the necessary equipment is provided except cleats and water bottles! The fees are not due until our equipment fitting on August 23rd from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Crescent Heights Arena.

The PA Minor Football board is urging parents to register their children early in part because of an anticipated need for a second pee wee team. However, they need proof that the demand is there for a second team before the Kinsmen Football League Annual General Meeting in early August. They need 70 pee wees registered online at http://www.pariverriders.com by July 31st in order to apply for the second team. That’s only 10 more players than we had last year, and 20 more than are already registered.

Don’t delay, sign up your child to play football TODAY at http://www.pariverriders.com! Please note that in addition to the $175.00 registration fee (if registered online before July 31st), there is also a $250.00 equipment deposit, which may be a cheque post-dated for the end of our regular season, October 19th. More information is available at http://www.pariverriders.com, as well as contact information for coaches and board members if you have any questions about our programs.

PA Minor Football will be participating in the Exhibition Parade in the evening of July 27th. Players, coaches, parents, and board members representing all of our programs, both non-contact (for ages 4 to 10) and tackle (for age 10 up to grade 11) will be walking in our group.

Thank you to Don Mitchell for interviewing Coach Taras for the Region at Noon on 900 CKBI recently, promoting our fall season.

Registrations for any of our programs through KidSport and JumpStart are welcome. Contact Bob Coffin at boblcoffin@hotmail.com or (306) 922-4184, and he will gladly help with the registration process. Again, please sign up your child to play tackle football this fall at http://www.pariverriders.com by July 31st to receive $75.00 of the registration fees!
