When does the North Langley Bears’ first VMFL game kick off?

The Bears’ inaugural VMFL season begins September 7 at 7 p.m. against the Delta Force at Chase Office Field, marking the league’s official season opener.

How many teams are in the Vancouver Mainland Football League?

The VMFL fields 10 teams for the 2024 season, including the North Langley Bears, after adding three new programs this year.

What’s the Bears’ biggest challenge in the VMFL?

Depth and physicality top the list. VMFL rosters average 30 pounds heavier per player and run more complex schemes than Langley’s previous opponents, with second-half fatigue often deciding close games.

Will the Bears still play home games in Langley?

Yes. The Bears will continue using Chase Office Field in Langley as their primary home venue for VMFL games and practices.

How does this move affect Bears players’ development?

Exposure to higher-caliber competition accelerates skill growth, with VMFL film sessions and scouting reports now part of the weekly routine. The league’s standardized schemes also force players to master multiple positions earlier.

What new technology is the VMFL using this season?

The league introduced GPS tracking and heart-rate monitors during games to quantify workload and recovery, data the Bears will integrate into practice plans.
