In order to be eligible to practice, as well as receive equipment, players must first register with Football Canada via the Ontario Football Alliance. A player needs to also register with the CJFL, complete the 2016 version of the CJFL CCES drug education program, and if you’re a new player, you must also complete the information form on our website. If you have any questions concerning your player registration, please contact Jim Stevenson at jstevenson@execulink.com.
Beginning this season, the Beefeaters have entered into an integral relationship to develop our football program together with the support of the Western Mustangs football program and coaches. This collaboration will provide a significant mutual benefit in terms of player development and on-field success for both the Beefeaters and the Mustangs.
