Hosted by the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation, the NSFL is a grassroots amateur football initiative focused on creating opportunities for youth in northern communities. Now entering its fourth year, the league continues to grow both on and off the field, with this year marking the first time the Jamboree has been hosted in Saskatoon.

Participating teams include:

Creighton Kodiaks, Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk

Sandy Bay T-Wolves, Head Coach Robin Stewart

Pinehouse Lakers, Head Coach Curtis Chandler

SMVS Huskies, Head Coach Steve Aldridge

Cumberland House Islanders, Head Coach Brent Tunstall

NAMS Warriors, Head Coaches JR LaRose and Mark Lambert

Beauval Voyageurs, Head Coach Stephen King

Athletes will be supported throughout the weekend by coaches and mentors from organizations across Saskatchewan. Dan Clark will also join the Jamboree today to help coach and mentor athletes during the first day of training.

The camp will conclude with all ten teams attending the Saskatoon Pre-season game.
