But it takes work. Players should know that football is a big commitment. We practice 3-nights a week - outdoors, in all conditions (except lightening), with 1 game per weekend during the season. If you can make the commitment, you’ll be part of a great sport where you will learn about teamwork by playing on the ultimate team game. There is a position on the football field for everybody - no matter how big or small, fast or slow. If you are between the ages of 7 & 15 and live in South Edmonton you can play for Millwoods!
Practice starts at 6:30pm and goes until 8:30pm on Monday’s, Wednesday’s & Thursdays. We begin practice at the end of May and go until the end of the season in October (No Practice in the month of July). If we make the playoff and do well, we play as late as early November. You should do your best to make sure if you have any homework or chores that need to be done that you should do them before you come to practice, you’ll probably be to tired after.
During the regular season we play 1 game per week. This is generally on Saturday or Sunday, but occasionally on Friday night as well. Kickoff times are usually 11:00am, 2:00pm, 5:00pm or 7:00pm (Friday’s). You should plan to be at the field 1 - 1.5hrs before kickoff.
You will be given all of the equipment and training necessary to play football. That said, there are a few things that you’ll need, and a few that you may want to look at getting.
