Alberni Valley NFL FLAG League
Built for the Valley. Built for the next generation.
Alberni Valley Blitz was created to give local kids a place to learn football, build confidence, and be part of a team — whether they're picking up a football for the first time or already love the game.
Confidence, connection, and a lifelong love of the game.
Our vision is to introduce young athletes to football while helping them build confidence, athletic skills, teamwork, and a lifelong love of the game. We want to create more than a league. We’re building a sustainable football community for the Alberni Valley and surrounding communities.
Development first
Our first season will focus on learning, development, and fun, with opportunities for competitive play as the league grows.
A real league experience
Teams will play a regular season built around fun, fair participation, development, and community.
Why NFL FLAG works
Simple rules. More room to play.
