Family Resources
Everything a Bulldogs family needs in one place — fee assistance, handbooks, codes of conduct, and the policies that keep our program accountable.
Football should belong to every kid in Brampton
Cost can’t be the reason a kid in our city doesn’t get to play. BMFA partners with Canadian Tire Jumpstart and our team of sponsors to keep the program accessible. If your family needs help with registration fees, equipment, or transportation, we want to know.
Fee Assistance
No-questions-asked support for Brampton families who need it. BMFA partners with Their Opportunity, KidSport, and Canadian Tire Jumpstart to remove cost as a barrier to playing.

Volunteers are why this program exists. Whether you’re a parent who wants to help on game day or a former player who wants to coach, we have a role for you.
Join the team →Pipeline & Tradition
Bulldogs alumni play across Ontario high school, OUA, and U-Sports football. Notable graduates include athletes who’ve gone on to CFL and NFL careers — including John Metchie III (Houston Texans / New York Jets).

BMFA registrants who need help with registration fees, equipment, or transportation can apply for support through any of our fee assistance partners. We’ll walk you through it — no family needs to choose between making rent and giving their kid a season.

Canadian Tire Jumpstart
Jumpstart helps kids overcome financial barriers to participation in sport and recreation so every kid in Canada has the chance to play.
Founded in 2005 by Canadian Tire, Jumpstart funds registration fees, equipment, and transportation costs so financial barriers don’t keep kids out of the game. Individual Child Grants cover up to $600 per child per program, with additional support available for families facing greater need.
