The Vernon and District Minor Football Association (VDMFA) Board of Directors have voted unanimously to cancel the flag football season for all age groups due to safety issues surrounding the Coronavirus disease.

On March 31st, 2020, the British Columbia Football Conference extended its date of no team functions until at least June 1st due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our priority at this point is the health and safety of our entire community at large, and want to do all we can to help slow the spread of the virus.

The refunds for the program will come from Esportsdesk (the website used to register and pay the fees) and we are working with them to sort out how this will happen. Once the process is arranged, VDMFA will provide additional information on how this will be accomplished.

Our mandate as an organization is to put the kids first, and if we get the go ahead to SAFELY have some form of football events, we will provide interested kids the opportunity to play. As a Board of Directors, we have been working diligently to prepare for the tackle football season this summer and fall and we will have further announcements on this in the coming months.

We recognize that we all need to do our part to ensure our most vulnerable are protected, our health care systems are supported, and our children’s spirits stay lifted.
