The community football team includes players from both Hilltop High and St. Joseph’s. It seeks to build positive attitudes, an appreciation for an active life, and sportsmanship among interested young people in Whitecourt. Having fun in the process is considered an important part of making the lessons stick.

The Cat’s Football Alumni are helping out the current team by pitching in for fundraising activities.

The Cats football team has been in operation since 1986 and were Peace Bowl finalists in 1988, 1996, 2000 and 2001, emerging as champions twice, in 1988 and 2001. The Cats were also the provincial silver medalists for 2000.

There are 11 teams in the Mighty Peace Football League that the Cats compete in.
