Football Practice
Football practice is an important part of league participation and is required. Practice is 5 days a week prior to our first game, and 3 days a week after the season starts. Pop Warner rules require that each player complete 20 hours of physical conditioning prior to taking part in any contact. Further information is on the Additional Info page. Due to the mandatory player rule we do not have the option of benching players, so our only alternative is to suspend and/or expel players who fail to attend practice.
Code Of Conduct
Every participant is expected to exhibit the highest levels of good sportsmanship. Coaches, teammates, officials, and opponents must be treated with the utmost respect.  Pop Warner Player/Parent Code of Conduct outlines the expectations for all of our athletes.
