Dear Parent (s)

Please accept our gratitude in considering allowing your child the opportunity to participate in our Mini Cleats Touch Football program. Our mini cleats program is for all kids between 4-18 who want to learn basic touch football skills and fine tune their outdoor tackle / touch program.

We currently run a very successful adult program in Toronto www.utflfootball.com and have done so for the past 11 years promoting health & fitness to over 2000 men and women annually. The demand has definitely directed us to implement a youth program so that our kids have another inexpensive optional sport during the winter months.

We have secured excellent partnerships with the Toronto Argonauts who will be providing game tickets for all participants and 1 parent. Wild Water Kingdom will be donating a 1 month water park pass and The City of Toronto has also allocated funds for us in the event that a child wants to participate but cannot afford to play. We are proud to say that we wanted to ensure that not one child is "left behind".

Local schools, school boards and other sports clubs have embraced this program and I am confident you're child will have fun, meet new friends and will assist us in bringing the message to additional kids in the area. Your child's participation is just another positive step towards keeping our kids healthy, active and receiving value for their participation. We also encourage you, the mom's and dad's who make this possible to consider participating in our adult weekly program to keep yourself active as well. Touch Football is for everyone!!

The UTFL mini cleats program will also be implementing a post secondary school scholarship program for selected participating youths commencing in Oct / Nov 2008, as well as school book scholarships for selected youths commencing their high school program.

When you think Touch Football, think UTFL

Yours in Touch Football,
