“We need to get them signed up really fast or we risk losing some regional teams,” Robert Ohlmann, coach of the West Kelowna Tiger Cats, said.
Information about registration is available online.
The teams need kids born from 2007 to 2009.
Coach Ohlmann says if registration doesn’t pick up for the introductory Atom level, it could negatively impact the regional football program for years to come.
