Formerly the Jr. Giants program, we have recently rebranded to the Thunder Bay Surge and we couldn't be more excited for our season ahead!
The TBMFA Competitive Flag Football Program is built for athletes who want more — more speed, more competition, and more opportunities to grow.
Flag football is widely recognized as one of the fastest-growing sports in the world, with rapid expansion at youth, high school, collegiate, and international levels. It’s fast-paced, skill-driven, and now even part of the Olympic movement — making it an exciting time to get involved.
Competitive team environments focused on development and performance.
Tournament play across Ontario, Canada, and the U.S.
Emphasis on speed, agility, football IQ, and teamwork.
Experienced coaching and structured preparation.
We’re incredibly grateful for the support of our generous sponsors, whose contributions make this program possible — We are at the beginning of our season and just beginning to reach out to local businesses. With new partners joining us each week, our community continues to grow stronger. Please consider supporting our athletes!
