CCFA

Our spring clinic seems to get more popular each year. Once again blessed with great weather a good time was had by all.

The 2006 wind-up and awards party for the Midget Bengals was held at Fraser Downs in December....

No one will ever forget the 2006 VMFL Championship Games ! Historically held in the weather safe confines of BC Place Stadium, this year the event was forced to move at the last minute due to a sore throat of one of the Rolling Stones! The rescheduling of the Stones Tour kicked the VMFL out of the dome and the CCFA stepped up and volunteered to host at our own artificial turf field at Cloverdale Athletic Park... but who could foresee that the night before, and all through game day, the Lower Mainland would be hit by one of its heaviest single day snowstorms ever! about 18" by game time and 8" more throughout the day.... but our volunteers saved the day ... many showing up around 6am to shovel and otherwise prepare and staying not just through the last game but through the cleanup as well. Thanks to all.... the kids will remember the day for the rest of their lives!

In April 2006 CCFA was proud to host the Star Bowl - celebrating the achievements of athletes in the Bantam and Midget division league play 2005.

We were blessed with the best possible weather this year.... fun in the park, with football and a picnic lunch included

Bobby Singh (G; 2003 Finalist for the CFL's Outstanding Canadian and Outstanding Lineman awards) loves to give back to his community working with the Boys and Girls Club, the Lions: Read, Write and Roar, many youth football camps, visiting elementary schools, and doing any thing that is positive for youth.

Our 2005 Lions traveled to BC Place to return as Provincial Community Football Champions !

Congratulations to the 2005 PeeWee Bobcats - VMFL finalists

Having Fun !

December 2003 saw the official opening of the new artificial turf field that the CCFA helped bring into play... Gusting wind and heavy rain did not damper the ribbon cutting ceremonies of the new synthetic turf field at Cloverdale Athletic Park Tuesday evening December 2, 2003. In attendance were Mayor Doug McCallum, Surrey Council and Commission Members, and a good turnout of hardy football enthusiasts, including representative from FieldTurf and Matcon contracting.

Thanks to our Mayor, council and the commission members our new synthetic field that is under construction will now be expanded to include 15 yd end zones with the turf being upgraded to the same as the world's best play on! The good news is we are able to expand the field size now during construction rather than waiting to do it at a later date, which would have been too expensive, if and when allowed, and also inconvenient to other user groups. Our clubs contribution to this expansion is $44,000.00, about 25% of the cost to do it later. The project also includes a new announcer's tower similar to our present tower. Completion date is six weeks from now if the weather permits. Our children will be playing on the same high quality synthetic field that the NFL, CFL and university teams play on. The new field will be our home field for all home games and practices. You will see the difference when you come to practice.

Fun for all at the 2002 Spring Clinic -- including a picnic in the park !

A photo documentary of the construction of our highly anticipated clubhouse, located right in Cloverdale Athletic Park. Built in 2002 after a lot of hard work, fundraising and lobbying performed primarily by CCFA President Yeera Sami, this permanent structure meant the CCFA would no longer have to rent clubhouse space. Also, the obvious, yet hard to acquire, convenience of having everything in one location within the park! Many parents will fondly?? recall driving back and forth from the park to downtown Cloverdale, where the rented clubhouse was located for many years.

An assortment of shots from our archieve of past events and some of our many volunteers - with a big thank-you on behalf of the kids to all!
