“Football Ontario is excited to help continue to grow the football community across the province. The First Down program’s goal is to bring the sport we love to new participants that may not have had an opportunity to play before now, and being able to offer a free event like this as a part of Football Weekend in Ontario is a great opportunity” said Football Ontario’s Executive Director, Aaron Geisler.

​​Football Canada’s First Down Program helps get kids moving and active while having fun. The goal is to help develop their movement abilities and foster further participation in physical activity or sport. 

First Down engages participants by teaching fundamental movement skills to foster a love of the sport of football and physical activity.

Football Ontario is constantly looking for ways to create a more diverse sporting environment that promotes inclusivity and this is a great opportunity for young athletes to try out the sport for free.
