As the dust settles on another remarkable season, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the tens of thousands of Pop Warner student-athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families who made the journey memorable. 

Regardless of where the scoreboard landed at the end of each game or whether their squad advanced to regionals, our young athletes gained invaluable lessons in teamwork, sportsmanship, and resilience. The friendships and memories made will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact.

While winning is not the only measure of a successful season, that’s what all teams strive to do. And starting this weekend dozens of football, cheer and dance squads will be traveling to Orlando to win the the ultimate prize – a national title.

We will kick off the 66th Pop Warner Super Bowl with our first round of games on Saturday across the Camping World Stadium campus, and the 36th Pop Warner Cheer & Dance Nationals next Monday at the Orange County Convention Center.

The Super Bowl is the premier national championship event for youth football. It represents the only true national championship format in the country. Cheer & Dance Nationals feature more than 500 cheer and dance teams who compete at a four-day long event. Throughout the week, games and performances will be streamed live on FloSports.

This year is going to be especially exciting even beyond the competition. Families have far more options for lodging, entertainment, and we will have an amazing experience at SeaWorld for the annual party exclusively for Pop Warner. We hope to see you there.

For those who will be joining us in Florida we wish you luck. Most importantly, we ask you to embrace the moment and have fun. We also ask that everyone represent their teams, families and Pop Warner with respect and positivity.
