Brandon Alexander at École Van Belleghem teaching flag football

Students across the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ (ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½) have been getting an unforgettable experience this winter. Brandon Alexander, a two-time Grey Cup Champion with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, has been busy visiting schools across the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ to deliver engaging mini flag football lessons.  

His inspirational sessions focus on building confidence and promoting positivity, while introducing students to the fundamentals of flag football. Through fun, hands-on activities, students have been learning how to throw, catch, hand off, run with the ball, and capture flags.  

Flag football is a rapidly growing sport globally and is set to make its Olympic debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Brandon is on a mission to help grow the game by bringing flag football into schools across the province!
