REDZONE FOOTBALL AUG 10-11

Immerse yourself in the ultimate convergence of sports, music, and world-class athletes at the stunning Kitsilano Beach. Kitsfest is a one of a kind sports event that stands out in the Pacific Northwest and promises an unforgettable experience. 

In 2016, Daved Benefield, a former professional football player with the BC Lions, CFL, and San Francisco 49ers, founded the Red Zone Football tournament to merge his two passions - football and the beach. Growing up in Southern California, Daved spent countless hours either in the surf or throwing a football on the beach. He saw this as an opportunity to create a platform to showcase his son Ty's talent as a young quarterback and receivers making great catches in front of a large audience. "The game format was designed to be fast-paced and competitive, similar to beach volleyball and basketball, while also being accessible to casual fans who could enjoy the game while soaking up the sun or passing by on a walk."

Over the years the game has grown from SFU vs UBC, to Police and Fire Departments competing against teams from around the lower mainland. And a growing women's division that inspired Daved's daughter Addyson and her young team to compete against the boys as a first for the tournament. 

I'd like to give a special shout-out to all of our sponsors over the years in order of appearance.
