The MFL 2019 Spring season starts on May 25th, so get your rosters ready and sign up soon to reserve your spot!
We have tryouts on April 28th, May 11th, and May 12th at Poly-Arena park in Brossard and on May 18th at Le Ber parc in Point St-Charles. Returning players and full teams are welcome to come out to prepare for the start of the season, so let us know if you want to play!
It's still a while off as the spring season only starts in May, but we're doing a big push for expansion this year and there are a few things we're doing that we want you all to know about!
First, we're bringing back the $100 credit for bringing in a new player deal!
To qualify you have to have been an existing MFL player prior to this spring and are playing this spring or fall and the player you're bringing in must have not played in the MFL before and must be joining a new team. That last bit just means that it can't just be a new player added to an existing team!
Second, every player that you bring in this spring or fall season will get you one ballot entry for a draw we will do for a lifetime of free MFL football!
Yes, the winner of this prize will never have to pay for MFL football again playing on one team per season! You can play on more than one team, but only one is free.
Third, this spring we'd like to start a third division on Saturday for some of the newer and less experienced teams and players to give everyone a place to play and learn the game. So, if you know people who would be interested in playing, but maybe they don't have much experience we will have a perfect place for them!
Finally, we want to start a league in Brossard this summer with games on Sunday (likely at Park Illinois) and we're offering a special season price for players who also play on Saturday this summer.
We're offering a price of $50 for the season for the first 16 players who sign up and $100 season price for the next 16!
This offer is only for players who also play in either the spring or fall season, but the $100 credit for bringing in new players also applies for bringing in Brossard players!
The Brossard league will follow the same format as the spring and fall seasons, but all games will be on Sunday!
We're super excited to grow the MFL and I hope these offers have you excited as well!
If you're looking for the MFL 2019 Winter season you have to use the Divisions tab on the side of the screen (or bottom on mobile) and select Division 2.
Have a great season and see you Div 1 teams in the spring!

The winter season starts on January 5th, the first Saturday of the new year!
We're going to have one division of 8 teams competing this winter and it looks like it should be pretty balanced and that should make every game a tight contest, which makes for a great season!
The season will be 10 games long and the top 4 teams make the playoffs which will have all games played on March 16th.
Winter games have one hour exactly of field time reserved, so the the games are 22 minute running halves with 5 untimed plays at the end. Each team has one timeout per half, but please be aware that timeouts DO NOT stop the game clock and they simply set the playclock to 25 seconds and running. So, timeouts are really just to give a team a little extra time to avoid a delay of game or organize their defense once per half.
We're also changing our overtime system due to the time restraints of the dome. The home team will get to choose to begin overtime on offense or defense though teams will still flip order every round as before; however, the team going first in each round must go for a one point convert and the second team must attempt a two point convert on their attempt if the first team scores on their attempt. This guarantees an end to the game if a team scores on the first possession of a round.
Once the winter season is over, we'll be having pick up games in April in preparation for the start of the spring season in May.
We're once again going to be offering discounts for people bringing in new players this summer (including a lifetime of free football for one player!), so start recruiting early for that!
