Gilbert Pop Warner sends congratulations to 2-time 1^st team All-American Pop Warner Little Scholar Michael Kerr. Michael has received a $1000 scholarship from Pop Warner’s national organization.

Michael enjoyed a stellar 4 year career as member of the Avengers. He was a leader on the offensive and defensive line. His fine efforts in school and many other civic activities earned him respect and appreciation in the community.

Gilbert Pop Warner congratulates Dr. and Mrs. Mark Kerr for raising such a fine young man. And we wish Michael much success as he begins attending Highland High School this fall.

GPW is proud of all our scholar athletes. The focus on academic excellence is a big part of the Pop Warner experience. That’s something you won’t find in many other youth football leagues.

There are some changes coming for the 2009 season. Returning Pop Warner parents are strongly advised to read this article. Dates you have traditionally taken vacations on may now have games.

Please note THAT THERE WILL BE GAMES PLAYED ON THE SATURDAY OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND.

These changes are due Arizona Youth Football Federation (our governing body) moving back to the national schedule. This means AZYFF Champions will now be competing for the chance to go to nationals in Florida!

All Gilbert Pop Warner parents are asked to take note and plan accordingly.

All tackle teams will now enjoy a 12-game schedule. The season is broken into 3 major sections:

1 - Regular season

2 - Playoffs/Non-conference games

3 - State and regional playoffs/Bowl games

The 12-game schedule includes playoff games. If a team makes an unfortunate early exit from the playoffs, they will still have additional game to fill their schedule.

Here are some key dates to plan for:

August 3^rd – Tackle practice begins

August 22^nd – Player Certification (Manditory for ALL Players)

August 29^th – First Tackle Game

October 10^th – 1^st round of playoffs/Non Conference games begin
