| The mission of Pop Warner
Little Scholars, Inc. is to enable children to benefit from participation
in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment.
Through this active participation, Pop Warner programs teach fundamental
values, skills and knowledge that children will use throughout their
lives. |
|
| More than just athletes! |
| Pop Warner Little Scholars,
Inc. (PWLS) is the only national youth sports organization in America
that requires its participants to perform adequately in the classroom
before permitting them to play. We believe that the standards we
have set give these children a sense of responsibility and an appreciation
for academics and athletics that will help them develop later on
in life. |
|
| Stability |
| Heading into our 77th
year, Pop Warner Little Scholars is the oldest national youth football
and cheerleading organization in the world. Founded in 1929 by Joe
Tomlin in Philadelphia as four-team conference, we now have over
130 leagues and over 380,000 members. |
| Mandatory Play Requirements
|
| Everyone participates
under mandatory rules of play. Each league may set a higher number
of Mandatory Plays, but never less than the minimum set by PWLS.
All MPR's should be based on eligible players at the time of the
game. |
| It's Inexpensive |
| Signing up for Pop Warner
Football, Cheerleading or Dance is inexpensive. A typical registration
fee for each participant ranges from about $20 to $200 for the season,
depending on your local area. Please note, registration fees are
set by each local program and what is included varies from program
to program. |
