The $500 fee includes:

  • 4 months of indoor practices
  • Select team swag
  • Practice jersey

Note: Travel costs are not included.

2. What is included in the $350 travel fee?

  • Coaches' travel
  • Tournament fees
  • Meeting rooms

3. How does travel work?

Families usually travel with their athletes to tournaments and showcases, staying at a block-booked hotel. To save costs, families often carpool or arrange for their athlete to travel with a trusted family. Personal travel expenses are not included in the $350 trip fee, so families are responsible for their own travel arrangements.

If your athlete is eligible to travel but you are unable to make travel arrangements, please contact our team as soon as possible for information on our Team Bus Chaperone Packages.

4. Do you provide football equipment?

Yes, we offer equipment rentals for a $75 fee, with a refundable $175 deposit upon the return of the equipment. However, before renting from Manitoba Selects, check with your club or high school football team to see if they will allow you to keep your gear to avoid extra fees.

6. What is the difference between Manitoba Selects and other provincial travel teams?

Manitoba Selects is the only Manitoban football team sanctioned by Heads Up Football and partnered with the NFL. Under this partnership, we are able to travel internationally, unlike other provincial teams, which are limited to playing within Canada. This limitation restricts their exposure to Canadian opportunities only.

With Manitoba Selects, our athletes get the chance to compete in North America’s football hotspots, optimizing valuable experiences and increasing scouting opportunities by attending major American and Canadian competitions. Additionally, we offer multiple trips throughout the season, preparing athletes to perform confidently in high-pressure situations.

7. What if I don’t get selected to travel?

Even if you're not selected to travel, you will still be able to develop and practice with Manitoba Selects. Our training will prepare you for your upcoming seasons, giving you valuable experience and skills for the future.
