Registration Information
Have you ever thought that Soccer was safer than football?
Well, did you know that Pop Warner football is safer than soccer?
Pop Warner football has 12% fewer injuries per capita among 5-15
year olds than organized soccer in the same age range! (U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission, NEISS)
If you are considering registering your child as a football player
or cheerleader please download the forms, fill them out, and mail
them along with your registration fee. The fee can be found on the
registration form.
Every child is required to provide the following items to the pop
warner organization or your child will not be able to participate
this season:

All of the items listed above are due before the 1st day of practice.
Your child will not be allowed onto the field and will not be issued
equipment, until all appropriate paperwork and fees are handed in.
Get your paperwork in early, because uniform equipment days will
be used this year, and you will only be called for equipment if
you have all of your paperwork in.
When do practices begin, and how important is it
for a player to attend practices?
Is there an age requirement for entry level teams?
Practices begin in the first or second week of
August. During the month of August all teams practices Monday through
Friday, in the evening. While this may seem like a lot, it is EXTREMELY
important for players to attend these practices! Football is a complex
game requiring solid fundamental skills as well as a high degree
of teamwork. Players who do not attend these sessions will find
it challenging to catch up. This has caused many families to reconsider
their summer vacation plans.
All participants must be 7 on August 1st.
