Our Story
In 2018 Keon Raymond and wife Bianca wanted to stay involved in the football community after Keon retired from the Canadian football league. The vision to start a skill program where players had fun competed and learned to love the game of football. They created the first spring 7on7 football program in the city of Calgary held at Sait University. 20 kids signed up not knowing what the 7on7 football game was about and it being a new concept in Canada. That fall Big Time launched its first travel club team that would travel to Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington. The BTP Elite U18 team recored its very first win in its very first game in overtime. A historic mark for the program. The Big Time program and brand has grown to a overall 1500 participants who have played trained or tried out in our program from ages 6 -19.
