Since 2000, Petoskey Pop Warner Football Association has provided Emmet County youth the opportunity to develop fundamental skills needed to not only play the game of football, but also necessary in other aspects of their life beyond football. Life lessons taught through teamwork and strategic thinking are as equally important as the athletic lessons. Working together cooperatively for a common goal, overcoming difficult obstacles, and handling both success and failure with a positive attitude, are key elements to becoming a vibrant, well grounded, successful citizen in our community. 

Core Values of Petoskey Pop Warner Football Association
We want everyone associated with our organization - board members, coaches, volunteers, and parents to focus on maintaining a program foundation based on these guiding principles:

* Encourage, motivate and inspire young people to reach their full potential.
* Help our athletes develop the skills needed to achieve success and the character to handle adversity.
* Treat everyone with respect and dignity.
* Understand the value of teamwork.
* Teach discipline with compassion.
* Demonstrate our values through what we do not just what we say.
* Strive to win but not winning at all costs.
* Celebrate our diversity and build a community within our organization.
