All AFMO programs take place on the synthetic turf of D’Arcy McGee High School in the Aylmer sector. Practices begin in April (the date is subject to weather conditions) and take place twice a week. The schedule for practices and games will be available on the AFMO Google calendar and the Vikings website as soon as it is finalized.

AFMO only cancels practices when the conditions pose a threat to players, such as lightning or extreme heat. Practices are NOT cancelled for rain.

Parents will be notified via email if a practice is cancelled. A message will also be posted on our Facebook page.

Players will be coached by experienced Gatineau Vikings coaches with the help of parent volunteers. If you are interested in helping, please email president@vikingsgatineau.ca.

All our coaches are volunteers, but we encourage them to participate in available training courses, and reimburse them for their expenses. At the least, all our coaches participate in mandatory orientation sessions to ensure they adhere to the values and ethics of the Club.

If you are interested in helping out on the field, please contact the Vikings President Leith Ross using the president@vikingsgatineau.ca email address.

There will be a trainer present at all practices. They will assess the player and determine what action (if any) is necessary. Emergency services will be contacted if a parent cannot be located at the field.

No, we do not ask parents to do any fundraising.

Please send an email to info@vikingsgatineau.ca and a Club Representative will get back you as soon as possible by email.
