Football Alberta Updated Vaccination Policy

The Football Alberta Board of Directors approved the following motion on February 14, 2022: “That Football Alberta remove all proof of vaccination requirements going forward for all of their programs with the proviso that should municipalities, host facilities, airlines, or national bodies reinstate or continue to require proof of vaccination Football Alberta will follow said guidelines and the participant will not be allowed to participate.  Anyone prevented from continuing participation in Football Alberta programs by outside agencies requiring proof of vaccination would receive a full refund of fees paid.”

Currently Football Canada DOES REQUIRE all players to have an entire course of COVID-19 vaccination as recognized by the Government of Canada.  This rule is in effect for the U18 Canada Cup, U18 Girls National Championship and the U16 Western Challenge.  Players can tryout in April and May but may not be selected if Football Canada still has their current vaccination rules in place.  The Bantam Showcase and Senior Bowl currently does not have any vaccination requirements.
