The Manitoba Minor Football Association (MMFA) is a volunteer
organization that is the governing body for youth football,
ages 7 to 14, in the Winnipeg and surrounding areas.
Children play football because it is fun, challenging and
exciting. Most kids love being part of a team and playing with
their friends. Football teaches cooperation and team work,
helps develop positive social skills and teaches respect for
others. It helps build self-confidence, a positive self-image
and self-worth. It enables a child to improve upon and develop
a broad range of motor skills like throwing, catching,
running, kicking, balance, agility and coordination. Because a
large variety of skills and physical abilities are required on
a football team, there is a position for every child to play.

MMFA website for more
