Everyone welcome.
If you’d love to get involved, but can’t be an executive member, the association can always find something for you to help out with. If you have particular expertise that would benefit the club (ie: carpentry, bookkeeping, foods & services, painting, electrical, any kind of merchandise, etc.) please come and let us know. We are always looking to expand our network of resources and for more people to pitch in.

The Vancouver Mainland Football League (VMFL) will be introducing a new format at Atom football starting with the 2018 Fall Season.
Atom players ages 8 and 9 will play a modified Flag football game. Players will wear protective football equipment and FLAGS on the hips. Blocking will be allowed at the line of scrimmage. There will be no tackling. The ball carrier whose flag is removed by defensive player will be considered tackled. All other rules will remain the same as 2017.
The Atom level will be an introduction to padded football where players will be taught safe techniques for blocking and “Heads Up Football” while the tackling is taken out of the game. This will allow this age group time to transition from Flag Football to Tackle focusing on the safety and building on the football fundamentals.
Please see below, a supporting statement from the President of the BCCFA (BC Community Football) for the VMFL moving to Atom Flag.
To all concerned,
As President of BC COMMUNITY FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION, I support the position that the VMFL has taken on U -10 Atom football. Being progressive in today’ society ensures football will survive. It is not only North American society that wants to limit or eliminate contact for all youth under 13. The VMFL has taken an important step to ensure parents continue signing up their children to play this heritage Canadian game.
We continue to see rule changes to protect athletes at all levels, this is a big step at protecting football in British Columbia.
Sincerely,
Joe Gluska
President, BCCFA
Due to unforseen circumstances, the VMFL will not be able to hold Starbowl this year.

The NSMF Clubhouse sustained major damage in the early hours of Nov 19th due to suspected arson. Luckily, insurance is covering the majority of the expenses and repairs. However, their have been and will continue to be out of pocket expenses, not to mention the frustration of being displaced from the clubhouse for our day to day business.
In all of this however, there has been a shining light in the amazing support our NSMF Families and Football Community have shown us. On behalf of North Surrey Minor Football, I would like to express thanks to
We are hoping that repairs will begin soon and we can be back in the Clubhouse in the Spring. In the mean time, watch our website for updates and Registration information for the 2018 Spring and Fall Seasons.
