🏈 A big moment for one of our Manitoba minor football coaches!

Congratulations to Himanshu Sharma, who was recognized by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers as the Bud Grant Coach of the Week at the Banjo Bowl! 👏💙💛

It’s a well-deserved recognition and timing was aligned going into National Coaches Week, it’s also a great reminder of just how much our coaches give to this game.

Across the MMFA, volunteer coaches give their evenings, weekends, knowledge and energy to help young athletes learn the game, build confidence, become teammates and discover what they’re capable of.

Himanshu, congratulations on an incredible honour! 🏆

And now we want to hear from YOU.

📣 Who is a coach who deserves a shout-out? Maybe they believed in your child, went the extra mile, taught an unforgettable lesson or simply showed up week after week.

Tag them in the comments and tell us what makes them a great coach. Let’s fill this post with some love for the people who make minor football possible. 🏈💛🤎

It’s National Coaches Week! 🏈💛

The Manitoba Minor Football Association is a volunteer-led league, and that means our coaches give something incredibly valuable to our athletes every season; their time.

They show up after work. They plan practices, teach fundamentals, celebrate successes, work through tough moments and help young athletes grow both on and off the field.

Across our clubs and divisions, hundreds of players get to experience football because volunteers are willing to step up, lead and coach.

This week, we want to say a very big THANK YOU to every MMFA coach, past and present, who has given their time, energy and heart to minor football in Manitoba.

Our league simply wouldn’t be possible without you. 🏈

If you see your coach this week, make sure they hear it:

Thanks, Coach! 💛🤎

The rivalry starts young. 😉🏈

Today, Manitoba and Saskatchewan go head-to-head in one of the best traditions in Canadian football the Labour Day Classic. 💙💛💚🤍

We know where Manitoba stands… but we want to hear from BOTH sides of the prairie.

💙💛 BOMBERS or 💚🤍 RIDERS?

Drop your winner AND final score prediction in the comments. 👇

And to our minor football friends next door in Saskatchewan… consider this a friendly challenge. 😏

The players on our fields today could be the ones carrying this rivalry onto the big stage tomorrow.

Two provinces. One incredible football tradition.

Now tell us, Saskatchewan… who ya got? 👀🏈

A big thank you to Kelly Butler for joining tonight’s Manitoba Minor Football Association meeting as our guest speaker.

We truly appreciated Kelly taking the time to share his passion for wellness and mental health, and to educate our football community about the important work he is doing and what he is working toward.

Kelly also shared information about the upcoming DUB Wellness Game, taking place Thursday, September 24 at Charleswood Broncos Football Field, 535 Oakdale Drive. Everyone is welcome to attend.

The game will support first responder mental health in memory of Winnipeg firefighter Preston Heinbigner and help bring greater awareness to the Preston Heinbigner Memorial Fund.

Thank you, Kelly, for the conversation, the education, and most importantly, for using football as a platform to help make a difference. 💙🏈

We’re grateful you spent part of your evening with the MMFA.

Reaching down to lift up the next generation. 🏈💙

Last night at Minor Football Night, our MMFA players got more than a high-five from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, they got a moment with athletes who are playing the game they dream about.

For the Bombers, it might have been a high-five.

For a young player looking up at them, it could be a moment they remember for years.

Because somewhere among these jerseys could be a future Winnipeg Blue Bomber. A future CFL player. A future coach. A future leader in our game.

The players on the field today were once kids dreaming from the sidelines too.

Sometimes the future of football is only a high-five away. ✋🏈

Thank you Dan for the photos!

🏈💙 MINOR FOOTBALL NIGHT! 💛🏈
(Share your pictures and video with us)

What a night for Manitoba minor football!

Last night, MMFA players and coaches had the incredible opportunity to take part in Minor Football Night at Princess Auto Stadium, proudly wearing their team colours, taking in warmups from the sidelines and being part of the excitement of game night! 🙌

There’s something pretty special about seeing the next generation of Manitoba football standing on the same field where so many of their football heroes play.

A huge thank you to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Winnipeg Football Club for continuing to recognize, celebrate and invest in minor football across our province. Experiences like this create memories for our young athletes that go far beyond the scoreboard. 💙💛

And to all of our MMFA players and coaches who filled the stadium in their jerseys and team gear, thank you for representing your clubs and our football community so proudly!

The future of Manitoba football was definitely in the building last night. 🏈
