Camrose Buffaloes Football Association
2024 will be our 22th season of play! (including our years as Rose City Football)
We strive to provide a program that offers more than just sport. We pride ourselves on being ambassadors; building the youth of this community and a wide surrounding area into active healthy young athletes with a strong focus on sportsmanship and dedication. On the Buffaloes bench, everyone is included as a necessary member of the team, everyone has the opportunity to play, and we succeed or fail together!
The success of our program lies with the network of devoted parents/volunteers and The Camrose Buffaloes Football Association Board of Directors. We also acknowledge the help and direction provided to our Association by the members and the Board of CDMFA.
Also, special thanks goes out to our coaches, trainers, managers and support volunteers who devote countless hours to make the program possible.
