Did You Know?

 

Did you know that Pop Warner football is safer than soccer? Pop Warner football has 12% fewer injuries per capita among 5-14 year olds than organized soccer in the same age range! (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, NEISS)  Kids compete with kids of similar age and/or size. 

Established in 1929 by founder Joseph J. Tomlin as a four-team conference in Northeast Philadelphia participation, has steadily increased to today's record numbers. With over 250,000 youths participating in Pop Warner-sanctioned football programs in 2010, the numbers have just continued to grow.

Stats


Why Doesn't Pop Warner Keep Statistics?


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 will not accept or over-inflate the ego of one at the expense of another. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.

"Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work..."
