2011 Minor Provincials Schedule
The following is the breakdown of the schedule for the 2011 Minor Provincials. Please note that the league championships are designated by the Tier which the champion of that game will go to Football Alberta Provincials at. Also note that in one cases (i.e. Bantam Tier I) that certain leagues are designated to send two representatives to Provincials so the Finalist (i.e. loser of the Championship Game) will be going as well. Also note that the Pee-Wee playoffs can go either one or two weeks depending on the number of leagues involved. No extra teams will be added this year to fill the BYE's.

POLICY FOR MINOR FOOTBALL
The following is information from the Minor Provincials Policy and Procedure Manual that is still fairly new. Please ensure that this information is distributed accordingly throughout your league so that all member clubs are aware of the following:
The Football –
Starting in the 2010 season the official football to be used for Provincial Playoffs will be the Wilson TDY Leather football for Bantam and Wilson TDJ Leather Football for Pee-Wee and Atom. Leagues and teams may continue to use whatever they wish during league play but for the purposes of Provincials the host team must have a good selection (minimum 3) of quality TDY or TDJ leather balls for usage by the officials. No ball switching will take place during Provincials as per the rule book.
Season of Play –
“Season of Play for all Minor Football in the Province to be included in the Minor Provincials Policy and Procedure Manual read as follows:
- · Off-Season: This includes the months of December, January, and February in their entirety. Teams and association may do all the administrative activities they wish and are also free to host gatherings for their players in whatever venue they wish (i.e. gym nights). Players can attend off-season camps as individuals or whatever indoor team activity their club provides.
- · Spring Season: This includes the months of March, April, May, and June in their entirety. All teams may do any and all on and off-field activities they wish during this time. This will allow for ample time for the Midget season to take place and all other levels of minor football to run as much or as little spring programming as they wish.
- · Summer Break: This includes the entire month of July. Teams and associations may continue to do administrative activities during this time (i.e. registrations, equipment handouts), but no formal on or off field activities for the players will be allowed in equipment or not. Athletes may attend summer football camps (i.e. University of Calgary Summer Football Camp) or Alberta Summer Games/Football Alberta elite program events as individuals but no coach, team, league, or association that is a member of Football Alberta at the minor football level may be the sponsor or organizer of summer camps for the purposes of training their athletes as a team.
- · Fall Season: Teams and Associations will be allowed to start practices on August 1st of each year. Leagues and Associations will be allowed the flexibility to determine when they can start their regular season and/or pre-season tournaments but it would be recommended that 10 calendar days and at least 6 practises be allowed before any competition between teams takes place. The regular season for all leagues will conclude with their championship games played the first full weekend in November (i.e. both Saturday and Sunday are November dates). This will allow for 14 weeks of league play including playoffs.
- · Provincials: Provincial play for Pee-Wee and Bantam representative teams will commence the second full weekend in November and will conclude as per the schedule set by the Minor Football Committee and the previous years Planning Meeting. Atom football will continue finish up at the end of the regular season with the champions of the Capital District Tier I division declared Provincial Champion at that age category.
Consequences for not following the Seasons of Play Guidelines would fall into two categories:
TEAM – if a single team chooses not to follow the Seasons of Play Guidelines they would then forfeit any right to access Football Alberta programs and services. This would include everything from insurance to coaches clinic access to Alberta Summer Games and Bantam Bowls. Their League or Association would be free to choose whether or not they would be allowed to continue in regular season play or not but regardless of their record on the year, should they be allowed to continue, they would not be eligible for Provincials
LEAGUE or ASSOCIATION – if an entire league or association chooses not to follow the Seasons of Play Guidelines they would suffer the same consequences as in the TEAM section above as a group and none of their representative teams would be eligible for Provincials.
NOTE: In either situation above the discovery of these incidents would have to be proven by evidence provided and would be dealt with on a case by case basis.
