2021 BYTFL

Welcome to all the new players and welcome back to the returnees!

We will be doing an equipment handout this week on Wednesday and Thursday, September 8 and 9 in the evening from 6-7:30 at Krown Rustproofing at 514 Gormanville Road.  We ask that all players and parents wear a mask while in close contact with others.  All equipment is supplied except for cleats and mouthguards.  If you have old cleats that no longer fit we accept used cleats, if you have outgrown your cleats and could use some gently used ones we can check what we have available.  There are lots of cleats and mouth guards available at Source for Sports to purchase as well.  Soccer cleats are also good for football.  I suggest having a couple of mouthguards on hand as if they lose theirs or forget theirs they can not play.

The camp is on Saturday, September 11th  Bantams will be at 5:30-7:30 at Rollie Fischer field.  We ask them to wear full gear including a mouthguard. After the camp, the coaches split up the teams and you will be contacted about which team your player will be on and what nights they will be practicing.  You should hear from your coach no later than September 15th, the first games are September 25th.

Kids are back to school Tuesday, tell them to tell their friends about football and get them to sign up too!  We try to accommodate friend requests as best we can.  Register at www.northbaybulldogs.com.

Player fees can be paid by email transfer to me at this email christa@d-linsurance.com or at the Bulldog’s Store https://northbaybulldogs.com/shop/ or at source for sports on Fisher Street.  The fees are $275.  If you are having problems with player fees, you can apply for kid sport or jumpstart.  We also run a BINGO every second Thursday and you can work off your player fees by working bingos, if interested let me know.

Games will be on Saturdays at Rollie Fischer Bantams are at 12 and 1.  Tykes play before this so there is a chance games could start a bit later.  They play 2 one hour games back to back each Saturday.

Volunteers, we are always looking for volunteers.  Game days we always are looking for refs, stick crew, trainers to tend to bumps and bruises.  If you are interested in coaching also let me know.  If you are interested in working Bingos we always need help there too!

Bulldog Football Scheduling a June Kick Off

The North Bay Bulldogs are excited to announce the progress of its 2021 non-contact summer football programs. Bantam and JV registrations are ahead of last year’s fall season’s pace with limited spots left.

The Bulldogs NFC edition will be coming together to work on the passing game and will be involved in NFC competitions vs other NFC teams where permitted by regional guidelines. In addition, the Bulldogs organization will be operating a local full spectrum of non-contact football divisions Sunday game action across the City.

This year the Bulldogs are operating 6 divisions with
TYKE (09, 10, 11),
BANTAM (07 & 08)
Jr. VARSITY (05 & 06)
Sr. Varsity (02, 03 & 04),
Open Adult and
brand new for this year an OPEN WOMEN’s Touch Football League

“We recognize there is an important need for our kids and adults alike to get out into the fresh air and get exercise. Our volunteers are shaking the cobwebs off the footballs and preparing for football in June!” said Bulldogs President Marc Mathon

The actions all starts 2nd week of June and spots are limited so it will be important to get registered before the spots fill up. In 2020, the Bulldogs operated a very successful non-contact football league in the Fall filling up 5 divisions in a very short 3 weeks. The 2020 Fall season comprised of 126 games in 6 weeks so executing a heavy schedule is nothing new for this club.

“We are excited to offer for the first time ever in North Bay an open Women’s touch division. We have room for 4 or 5 teams and 6 players. Women in football is expanding all over the world, including tackle and we really want to offer than here in North Bay.” Explained Mathon.

The action will start with training camp-style practices for the kids on June 8 while games for everyone will be starting June 12th and running through until August.

Registrations for the NFC team are being accepted for NFC non-contact action at the same time and NFC players will automatically eligible to play in the Sunday adult league as well.

“We do need people to help out, so if you are looking for something exciting to contribute to, there is no shortage of fun working with the Bulldogs family”, says Mathon.
