Friday September 24th

10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. - Pig Bowl (Flag Football Tournament)

• Team-based event. Flag football is a variant of American football where, instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier to end a down.  We are looking for students who are interested in joining a team or registering a new team!  It is great when residence towers can make a team or join with other towers/residence groups to form a team.  Or maybe you live off-campus and are looking to participate.  If you are interested in learning more you can email champlain@trentu.ca. If you are interested in participating register here!
