Bantam raiders

The Lacombe Bantam Raiders welcomes youth 13-15 years old (born in 2012, or 2013; can't be in grade 10) interested in learning and developing their football skills. 

Regular Season

Practices will start the middle of August and run every Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri at MEGlobal Athletic Park (Lacombe) from 6 pm to 8 pm. 

Games are typically on Saturdays with the occasional Sunday game. Travel within central Alberta is required for regular season, Championship, and Provincial games. 

Game Format

These kids play full field, real deal football with timed games, score keepers, sideline sticks, flags, and referees. They get a chance to play in Championships and Provincials! The Bantam program is a steppingstone into high school football.
