ALL-AMERICAN SELECTION PROCESS:
(must have a 96% or above grade point average)
- A final score is calculated for each student that consists of up to 100 points (85%) for the student's grades for the prior school year, along with up to 18 points (15%) awarded for the attached Addendum sheet of activities and achievements.
- Once the scores have been calculated, First Team All-Americans are selected. The top 35 football players and 25 cheerleaders per grade (plus ties) are selected as National First Team All-Americans.
- Second Team All-Americans are then determined by Pop Warner based upon the number of applications that were submitted for that year.

Pop Warner Football Overview (Taken From National Web Site)
Pop Warner football has been around since the inception of the league in 1929 by founder Joseph J. Tomlin as a four-team conference in Northeast Philadelphia. Since then, participation has steadily increased to today's record numbers. Over 240,000 youths participated in Pop Warner-sanctioned football programs in 2004, and those numbers are continuing to grow.
SAFETY FIRST:
Kids compete with kids of similar age and size. Pop Warner is the ONLY youth football program (local, regional and national) that sets and enforces a strict AGE & WEIGHT MATRIX that reduces the risk and reality of injuries.
Did you know that Pop Warner football is safer than soccer? Pop Warner football has 12% fewer injuries per capita among 5-15 year olds than organized soccer in the same age range! (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, NEISS)
WHY THERE ARE NO PERSONAL STATISTICS:
Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, dance and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men and women. We give them experiences that build their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
While individual statistics may be more common, particularly among older football players, Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual. We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or yards rushing per game. We don't count sacks or blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.

We do not field Practice Squads, JV teams, Division 5 teams or "B" teams. We want all Pembroke youth football players and Pembroke youth cheerleading squads to experience Varsity life with their peers and our Varsity coaches. Our football games are on Sunday (except for night games).
We can field as many Varsity football teams as we'd like. We welcome any Pembroke football players that would like to join, nobody will be turned away from Varsity play (there are no waiting lists). All Pop Warner children get mandatory playing time (not just Pembroke). If a Pop Warner team has 16-25 players all children must receive at least 10 plays (Mites 12). 26-30 players 8 plays (Mites 10), 31-35 6 plays (Mites 8). Note: Special teams, kneel downs, extra points etc. do not count toward mandatory playing time. There are monitors from Pop Warner that certify your child and all other children's playing time. Participation is extremely important to Pembroke Pop Warner.
We had 6 Varsity Football Teams compete in 2008: 1 Midget 1 Junior Midget 1 PeeWee 1 Junior PeeWee and 2 Mites teams
_________________________________________________________________________________
Our success is not all about wins, but about learning, teaching, teamwork, having fun, fundamentals, respect, confidence, relationships, saftey, determination, resilience, improvement etc. We have been successful by surrounding the children with great coaches and great volunteers that want to see all the children participate and succeed.
