Welcome to the Mallard Creek Chargers Pop Warner Football
The Mallard Creek Optimist club program was started in 2009 with three teams. We are a Tackle football program for ages 5-14. In 2010, our program grew to six football teams and joined the Pop Warner, Little Panther's Division. Our teams have grown together and look forward to growing even more in the future!
Pop Warner uses the sport of football with a strong emphasis on education to develop responsible, strong young men. We will help build their understanding of teamwork, leadership and discipline to help them achieve their goals later in life.
Kids will compete with players in the same age group as themselves to ensure safe and balanced competition. Team levels are 8U - 14U.
