FINAL LEAGUE SCHEDULE IS OUT!

IT’S FINAL! The 2015 NCAFA final schedule is out.  Watch for emails from your team manager, check our Warriors Facebook Events Page and our Warrior Events Calendar Page for all of the details.  On this page, you can see your team’s monthly calendar of events listed conveniently at the bottom of the page.  There is also a short summary of all Warrior events in the right column on the page and of course a monthly calendar at the top.  Click on the highlighted date you are interested in to access all of the Warrior events occurring on that date.

For each event listed, we have a date, duration, team that will be playing, instructions and a map with links.  It’s convenient and easy to use. 

HOME GAMES:  A special note for home games –  our club will be responsible to bring and set up the game yard markers, goal post pads  and yard sticks.  We will also be in charge of sticks and timing and we will be hosting a BBQ for the full-day event.  This means food and supply purchases, getting everything to the event, BBQ crews and tear down (tents, bbq’s, tables, supplies, etc….)

We’ll need ALL HANDS ON DECK.  Watch for emails from your team manager and please lend a hand.  BE A WARRIOR VOLUNTEER.  Aside from being our job as hosts, it’s important to reflect well on our sport, our league, our Warrior Club and to set an example for our youth to aspire to!  Remember to bring water, lawn chairs and your Warrior Spirit! Go Warriors! #Warriors4Life

Michael Polito Partners with the Warriors with NEW Lend A Hand Program

Paul Stewart President of The Bell Warriors Football Club and Michael Polito of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa are pleased to announce an innovative new partnership agreement that will go above and beyond the usual one time donation scenario.  Michael Polito’s ‘Lend a Hand Program’ will make a cash donation back to The Bell Warriors Football Club every time a new potential mortgage client identifies themselves as a member of the Bell Warriors Family.

 

“It has been my privilege to be a volunteer for the Bell Warriors for many years and this new sponsorship partnership is the right thing to do.  I’m coming on board as a Gold Sponsor immediately but the sky is the limit in terms of donating above and beyond.  It’s the right thing to do.  For more information you can contact me at www.mikepolito.ca.”

'Lend A Hand' Program and Gold Sponsor Michael Polito with Paul Stewart, Bell Warriors Football Club President

Paul Stewart, President of the Bell Warriors Football Club, states “The Bell Warriors Football Club is enjoying our 60th anniversary this year of providing youth football programs for boys and girls.  Player fees cover less than 40% of our overall budget so we rely heavily on community partners to step up.  Mike Polito’s innovative approach to give back to our football program is based on a model that many other service providers could consider adopting. It’s sustainable, generous, thoughtful and the Warriors want to thank our newest Gold Sponsor Michael Polito for stepping up by giving back to the Warriors.”

 

For 60 years, the Bell Warriors Football Club has offered football programs for boys and girls ages 8-19 in the communities of Britannia, Bayshore, Bells Corners, Richmond, Munster and Stittsville.  Tryouts for their tackle football program are just underway.  For more information about the Bell Warriors program, email info@bellwarriors.ca.  You can also follow the Warriors on Twitter @BellWarriors1 or check out their new website at www.bellwarriors.ca for more details.
