On behalf of my staff and myself, I would like to welcome you to Southern Nevada Pop Warner Football. Our team is the Midget Division Jaguars and this is our Official Website for the season. Our participants range from 11-15 years old. This team will replace the former Wolverines Midgets.

As I begin my 28th season of coaching our youth, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join our Jaguars Family, become a volunteer, the players and cheerleaders will surely thank you for it. Many of you would like to help out I know, but somehow just can't seem to find the time. But time is what you make it - it's just a matter of priority. And what higher priority can there be than the growth and development of your children.

The purpose of this program is to build character in our young people, to teach responsibility and the meaning of commitment, and to teach the positive values of honesty, fair play and sportsmanship. With your help and support we can work together to reenforce these very important values. I look forward to having the opportunity to meet and greet each of you as the season progresses.

Best Wishes for a Successful Season in 2008.

T. Kevin Jarrett
