Calgary School of Football

Dennis Relf

Dennis was raised in the lower mainland of BC with a rich tradition of football in his family. His grandfather was with the Edmonton Eskimos in the 1940’s and his father coached many championship teams of all ages. Dennis played from the age of six through high school on the lower mainland. His post secondary career was played with the Richmond Raiders Junior team, but was ended due to injury. With his unquenchable thirst for the game he redirected his focus towards coaching.

After earning his level II certification in BC in 1983, Dennis moved to Calgary where he has resided ever since. He has been involved with coaching in Calgary on and off for the past 20 years. High School, Midget, Bantam and Peewee, Dennis has worked with all age levels and seen many of his players go on to successful post secondary careers.

Dennis’ love of the game is infectious and his knowledge is superior. His focus has always been on the fundamentals, conditioning and preparation of the game. The Calgary School of Football offers all ages the opportunity to achieve their goals.
