Partnering with Airdie Football Society

At AIRDRIE CAMPS we partner with AFS Flag Football to offer an Intro to Flag Football program for ages 4-6 and 7 who haven't played AFS flag football previously. Through basic skills/drills and fun games, the development during this camp will be a great start to enjoy the sport of Flag Football for years to come. Whether it’s a first experience, or in preparation for the upcoming AFS Flag Football league for your 6 year old, we welcome all skill levels and aim to show you the fun, recreational side of football.

Did you know that while youth participation in sports overall has declined 13% over the last decade, more kids than ever are getting involved with FLAG football?
FLAG is more than just a game – it’s a values-focused activity and community for your child to learn and grow with. See for yourself what makes FLAG the right choice for your family.

Join us as we partner with Airdrie's local flag football organization, AFS Flag Football, for a 3 day camp that will introduce your young athlete to the game of FLAG Football before they are able to join the AFS Flag Football League.

COACH
GEORGE BARENDREGT
George’s first love will always be the original football game – aka, soccer – he’s played for most of his life and was a coach and official for EMSA for several more. He’s especially proud to have coached with the Family Friendly soccer league in Edmonton for 9 years and to have served as President of the Men's Christian Soccer Association in Edmonton for 3 years. More recently, he’s become a football fan, volunteering with our AFS league and currently acting as our AFS Flag Football Director of Officials. Did we mention George has 10 kids? Yep, that’s right. He can handle a crowd and especially enjoys a group of rowdy kids. He sees the benefits of a sport-for-life attitude and looks forward to instilling the values of activity and fun as he teaches your kids the basics of flag football.
AIRDRIE FOOTBALL SOCIETY
The Airdrie Football Society (AFS) was formed in 2010 to promote an active interest and participation in minor football. In support of that goal, the AFS Flag Football League was established in 2016 and provides a fun and inexpensive non-contact football experience for Airdrie youth.
