Nepean Redskins Annual Sponsorship

West Ottawa Hyundai has been providing support for the Nepean Redskins Football Club through an annual sponsorship since 2006.  The sponsorship allows the Club to run a number of programs; flag football, girls touch football, tackle football and cheerleading.

The Nepean Redskins have over 500 participants aged 5 to 19 in their programs. Programs run from May through to November each year.  The Club is one of the largest in the National Capital Amateur Football Association.

Highlights of the 2007 Nepean Redskins sponsorship programs were:

• Flag Football (May - June): a co-ed program for players aged 5 to 12, that ran for 7 weeks. Each week was divided into practice time where players learned football skills and then on to a play period where games were played.  There were over 260 participants in the program this year.
• Tackle Football (June - November): a competitive program for players aged 8 to 19 years. Tryout camps ran in June with practices for the 5 teams commencing the end of July.  The season playoffs started at end of August and were completed in early November. There were about 185 participants in the 2007 tackle program with many graduates moving on to University and CFL teams.
• West Ottawa Hyundai Challenge Cup (2007): West Ottawa Hyundai became the primary sponsor of an annual Kanata Knights vs. Nepean Redskins Challenge Cup this year. The games were held between the Tyke and Mosquito teams. Congratulations to the Nepean Redskins who won the 2007 Challenge Cup.
• NCAFA Championship Week: NCAFA is the largest amateur football association providing programs for over 4,000 players and coaches.  The Championship Week event supported by West Ottawa Hyundai was the culmination of an entire season of tackle football and had over 24 teams involved in three categories of championship level games. This has been the premier football event in Ottawa every November.
