Averill Park Pop Warner: Welcome

The mission of Averill Park Pop Warner is to enable our children to benefit from participation in team sports and activities in a safe and structured environment.  Through this active participation, our programs promote and teach fundamental values, skills, and knowledge that children will use throughout their lives.

~ A Positive Experience for All ~

Averill Park Pop Warner has no tryouts and does not make roster cuts.  All children participate under mandatory rules of play (www.popwarner.com) and on-field coaching is allowed for the younger age levels.  Individual performance awards are given only for academic excellence, not for athletic ability.

~ Safe Playing Environment ~

Football players are matched by national age and weight levels.  Cheerleaders are matched by national age levels.  Strict mandatory equipment requirements are adhered to.  All coaches and commissioners are required to attend a yearly clinic, and all volunteers are background checked.
