Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading,
dance and a respect for education to develop
strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men
and women. We give them experiences that
build their appreciation for and understanding of
leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
While individual statistics may be more
common, particularly among older football
players, Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic
accomplishments of the team, not the individual.
We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or
yards rushing per game. We don't count sacks or
blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of
the team to reinforce the importance of
teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to
over
-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk
injuring the self-esteem of a young person.
Whether our kids have good days or bad, they
are still an integral part of our team…and always
will be.
