BMF peewee Bucks putting N.B. on the football map
Battlefords Minor Football is all about progression.
Formed in 2011, it provides young kids with an opportunity to play flag and then tackle football, and focuses on the development of fundemental skills.
“Everything that we teach the kids, right from the flag league where this is no contact, is the same stuff that we’re doing when we do get to the full contact,” BMF Bucks peewee head coach Paul Fransoo said. “It’s about good body mechanics, proper stance and take-off. Little things executed will make a big difference, especially as you grow through the sport.
“We’ve seen kids come out there that have never thrown or caught a ball and inside of three years, they’re superstars in these little leagues.”
