A spring flag football league that started 10 weeks ago wraps up Saturday with a jamboree-style tournament that involves 96 kids, with teams from Smithers playing the locals at the Prince George Secondary School field.
Jamie Boreham built the Okanagan Football Academy from scratch three years ago in Kelowna and he brought that framework with him last winter when he moved north to become the head coach and director of football operations for the Prince George Kodiaks.
“Flag football is a great sport for introduction, it’s non-contact, it’s more touches for more kids because it’s 5-on-5 and nobody’s sitting off,” said Boreham. “Everyone gets to touch the ball, everyone’s important on the field. Our flag football, which is 5-on-5, will help them develop into our tackle which is 6-on-6.”
Boreham is patterning the tackle league after a 6-on-6 league in Outlook, Sask., run by a friend and former Saskatchewan Roughriders teammate, Brian Guebert.
