Each week, we will highlight one member of our CMF team. We would like to provide you with ‘behind the scenes’ news on our operations, and can get to know a little bit more about the people working for the Canadian Minifootball Federation (CMF)! We have asked each of our team members the same eight questions, to provide a broad perspective on what they bring to the CMF team.
In today’s post, we meet the League Coordinator of the Canadian Minifootball Federation (CMF) – Ryleigh Bridges. She will reveal to us her responsibilities and the role that she plays in this ambitious project.
