After striking double gold at the 2026 Provincial Spring Flag Championships, the Cloverdale Community Football Association (CCFA) is now setting its sights on the fall.<\/p>\n
While the older kids will move on to tackle football, the provincial champion U8s will continue on with flag.<\/p>\n
The CCFA runs an in-house fall flag program for kids that age. Yeera Sami, CCFA president, said registration is open now for fall flag and there are still spots available.<\/p>\n
\u201cLots of fun with three practices a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, with games on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m.,\u201d Sami told the Cloverdale Reporter. <\/p>\n
He added that all practices and games are at Cloverdale Athletic Park on the synthetic turf fields<\/p>\n
\u201cNo travel required,\u201d Sami noted. \u201cWe supply all equipment with an affordable registration fee.\u201d<\/p>\n
The fall flag season for U8s starts at the beginning of July and wraps at the beginning of November.<\/p>\n
The CCFA president also said they are also looking for players for their tackle football program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are now preparing to begin the fall tackle season on July 2,\u201d said Sami. \u201c(We) are recruiting and declaring for a U10 9-man tackle team for the 2026 fall season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Practices for fall tackle begin in July, but the regular season doesn\u2019t start until September.<\/p>\n
