NEXT is our advanced "rep" league, drawing in experienced coaches and talented athletes who crave a higher level of play. As Canada’s largest Rep Flag Football program, it’s perfect for teams seeking intense matchups, refined strategies, and a chance to elevate their game. Full or partial teams and friend groups are welcome, all competing under the Football Canada rulebook.
On the field, NEXT emphasizes polished playbooks, position-specific drills, and disciplined teamwork. Coaches with deep expertise push players to hone vital attributes such as offensive precision, defensive awareness, and overall football IQ. This collaborative atmosphere fosters lasting bonds among teammates and sets the stage for high-caliber flag football competitions.
NEXT players also get access to an exhilarating mid-season skills showcase, featuring 1v1 competitions, a 40-yard dash, a QB accuracy challenge, team relay races, and a live leaderboard with prizes. Video highlights capture the action for social media, and each participant’s Combine ticket is included in the league fee. Outstanding performances here can draw the attention of scouts for UA ELITE, Canada’s largest provincial and national-level flag football circuit.
Not on a team yet? Free agents are aspiring NEXT athletes who haven’t officially qualified for the league. They can earn their spot by excelling at a one-day UA Combine or impressing NEXT coaches during RISE seasons. Whether you’re joining with friends or forging a brand-new squad, NEXT offers the challenge, camaraderie, and visibility that ambitious athletes crave.
