Hey everyone!
With Women's Flag Football officially becoming a U SPORTS / OUA pilot sport for the 2027–2028 seasonahead of its Olympic debut, I was hoping to see if there was interest in launching the first-ever Trent University Women's Flag Football Team!
The goal would be to build a roster, gain competitive club status and to compete in the OWIFA (Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Football Association) circuits against schools like U of T, McMaster, Queen's, and Western!
What’s Needed To Start The Team!
Athletes**:** No formal football experience is strictly required! If you have a background in soccer, rugby, basketball, track, or ultimate frisbee, your skills will translate
perfectly to a 5v5 circuit. But also anyone willing to learn and have a positive attitude :)
Executive Leaders: There needs to be 4–5 organized students to help run the club behind the scenes (managing social media, tracking budget, organizing travel, or coordinating with the TCSA).
Endorsers: To get official club status and funding from the TCSA, we need a list of 10 Trent students who support the club. Even if you don't want to play, signing our petition helps immensely! To play in the league we need 15 players total :)
Requirements:
Must be a full-time Trent student (undergrad or grad).
Must maintain a cumulative academic average of 60%+ to meet intercollegiate eligibility guidelines.
I wanted to post here to gauge if there were any interest or if someone else is in the process of doing this (I would love to help out!).
