Pop Warner Season Has Begun

The official start to the Pop Warner football season was August 1st, but it has been a rough beginning leading to today's opening day game.

Besides weather that has gone from insanely humid to thunderstorms, we have had a rise in registrations for cheerleaders as well as our flag football teams and 7-9 tackle football teams.

Today's opening day was interesting. The game location had to be changed to our field for unknown reasons, which was good for me, and the rain held off for the day.

I think that overall everyone had fun today. What was important was that all athletes were encouraged to get out there and do their best, regardless of the score. That is what we want to encourage in all of our athletes so that develop respect for the game, themselves, and their opponents.

Go Bulldogs!
