Teams: Spring Flag Program

Spring Non-Contact/Flag Program (co-ed)

Mustangs Football (SWEMFA) participates in the CDMFA Spring Flag Football League which is a short season (April & May game play). With the games being played on a smaller field and with fewer players on a team, each player's opportunity to touch the ball and be involved in the play is increased.

Opportunities for Athletes

1. Players interested in football, but not tackle- Our highly experienced coaching staff will be teaching the fundamental skills of football related to passing, catching and running the ball as well as pass and run defense. Flag Football is a well recognized sport and in fact was just named as a demonstration sport for the 2028 Olympic Summer Games. Start on your path to a potential Olympic Medal. 
2. Players interested in Tackle but want to develop some skills before making the transition -Our program focuses on the development of fundamental athletic skills - speed, agility, body control and movement. These skills combined with football fundamentals, allow our athletes the ability to grow and learn in the safety of a non-contact environment.
3. Tackle Players looking to enhance their skill sets -Flag football offers our tackle players an opportunity to focus on the continued development of their ball handling, body movement skills in a non-contact environment. It is a great off season training environment where players can enhance their skill sets and improve or maintain their fitness levels for the upcoming tackle football season. 

Age Divisions

Mustangs Football offers co-ed play in the following age divisions: The age divisions align with Football Alberta and Football Canada to provide our athletes opportunity for potential provincial and national play

U10 - 5 vs 5

U12 - 5 vs 5

U14 - 5 vs 5

U16 - 5 vs 5 

All age divisions are non contact. Previously  the U16 division allowed limited contact at the line of scrimmage, however this has been discontinued for the 2025 season. CDMFA has revised the U14 and U16 divisions format of play to 5 vs 5 play to further align with provincial and national level requirements.
