Who We Are
VISION
To empower women through football, growing the sport of women’s football, and giving back to the community.
VALUES
Accountability – Community – Elite
Accountability: We are accountable to ourselves, our teammates, and our community. We are Riot everyday, everywhere and hold ourselves to a higher standard.
Community: We are continually building and strengthening our relationship with the football community and focusing on opportunities to give back to our partners.
Elite: We are an elite football program and we conduct everything we do accordingly. We are committed to always getting better.
Our History
We are Regina’s only elite-level women’s tackle football program. Established in 2011, the Riot have been members of the Western Women’s Canadian Football League (WWCFL) since the leagues inception. Competing against teams from Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Lethbridge, and Grande Prairie, the Riot have been perennial championship contenders, never finishing worse than second in their conference. In July 2015, the Riot claimed their first title by defeating the Edmonton Storm in the WWCFL Championship Game. They also went on to win back-to-back championships in 2017 and 2018.
But we’re more than just football players. We are students. We are business owners. We are mothers. We are volunteers within the Regina community. And we’re committed to growing the sport of women’s football in this city, in this province, and in this country.
Team Policy
What does it take to be #LikeARiot? It takes discipline. It takes commitment. It takes respect.
We demand a lot from our players, because they demand a lot from us. Prior to the 2015 season, an official team policy was put into place by the Board of Directors. This document outlines the expectations placed on all Riot players, coaches, and staff. To review this document click on the button below.
