ABORIGINAL SPORT DEVELOPMENT
The Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) & Aboriginal Sport Development
The Aboriginal Sport Circle (ASC) is Canada’s national voice for Aboriginal Sport, which brings together the interests of First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. Established in 1995, the ASC was created through a national consensus – building process, in response to the need for more accessible and equitable sport and recreation opportunities for Aboriginal peoples.
The ASC is a collective of Provincial/Territorial Aboriginal Sport Bodies. Each of them carries the mandate to represent the grassroots sport and recreation interests of the Aboriginal peoples of their regions. It is their voice that guides the direction of the ASC and establishes its national priorities.
Football Canada works closely with the ASC to further opportunity to the people in Aboriginal communities to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
Flag Football is an Active For Life sport, in that it is appropriate for all ages and abilities. Interactive participant clinics, teacher trainings and NCCP Coaches clinics are available year round. Information on sessions can be found on the
Support Personnel page.
