Yorkton Minor Football's 2022 Jamboree took place on Sunday throughout the day.

The jamboree had teams from Yorkton, Dauphin, Swan River, Indian Head, Moosomin and Melville in attendance and featured players from grades five, six, seven, and eight.

"Spring football is an opportunity to introduce first time players into the wonderful sport of football," said Jason Boyda of Yorkton Minor Football.

Multiple games were played at once by dividing Century Field in half as well as using the practice field.  Large crowds were in attendance to cheer on their favorite teams according to Boyda.

Boyda went on to say that the spring season allows the new players to learn skills and increase their 'football IQ' as well as give the players an opportunity to prep and be ready to hit the field full throttle for the fall football season.

Boyda said YMF had 135 players compete this spring football season.
