Welcome to the national capital amateur football association

The NCAFA has been the leader for tackle football in the Ottawa area since 1955. With 16 Clubs and over 5,000 members, it has grown to become one of the largest amateur tackle football associations in Canada. A number of NCAFA member Clubs have expanded to include spring programs which include Tackle, Girls Touch and Flag offerings. These are in addition to a major focus on fall Tackle and Cheer programs.

Each club fields from 1 to 5 fall tackle teams, ranging from Tyke - Midget, ages 8-19. While these have been the cornerstone programs that NCAFA operates, the spring programs have grown significantly and have become extremely popular from a membership perspective.

The NCAFA continues to provide quality youth Tackle football, Flag, Cheer and Touch football in Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. We are a member of the Ontario Football Alliance and Football Canada.

The sport continues to grow and we are excited at the prospect of having cross town rivals at the CIS level with the uOttawa GGs and Carleton Ravens this yeaer. This is in addition to the return of CFL football Ottawa football in 2014. These are exciting times for our sport.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to email us your questions and comments regarding football in Ottawa.
