Head Coaches Selected for the 2009 Season
WOYSA has become the winningest program in Maryland Pop Warner in only 7 years. We have now won 6 football and 1 cheerleading National Championships in all 4 age groups. A feat only accomplished by one other Pop Warner team in the nation. As such, WOYSA continues to grow each year and must add new teams to give each participant an opportunity to play football. We are now seeking new coaches for 2009. Please note, the Warriors will also have two Flag and Mitey Mites teams. The Flag and Mitey Mites teams are instructional, therefore, the teams are distinguished as Silver or Black.
If you are interested in joining WOYSA and becoming a head coach for any of the available teams, please contact Mike Wills, Football Director at (301) 440-1048 or Curtis Pumphrey, Assistant Football Director at (301) 536-4629 or via email at woysa1@aol.com.
