Hello Lion Families,
We hope this message finds you all in great spirits. We're thrilled to share some exciting news about the upcoming 2026 Spring season for our Lions in the OSFL (Ontario Spring Football League).
Get ready for an action-packed season with each team guaranteed 7 games before playoffs!
Our 2026 Spring/Summer Tackle program boasts 5 fantastic teams participating in Full Tackle programs. Please note that, just like in any sport, playing time on a team isn't guaranteed. Players new to the program or moving up from a younger age division may experience less playing time initially. However, we encourage all players to attend practices, work hard, and stay determined—improvement is the name of the game!
Here’s a quick overview:
Cost: For the Spring 2026 Tackle season, the fees per team cover various aspects, including training camps, equipment renewal, jerseys/pants, field rentals, coach development, HUDL, and bussing where required by the league.
