We have two critical rule changes this year that are going to help us in building our program. We’re very excited about these changes:
1. South West Washington Pop Warner is supporting the creation of 7th grade unlimited and 8th grade unlimited teams. This removes the weight restrictions that have forced many of our kids to play in other youth football programs, and allows our older kids to be more representative of a “middle school” football program. These teams will be able to play other teams in South West Washington, as well as teams in Portland, Spokane and the Salem area. 2. Tiny Mites and Mighty Mites will have an increase weight allowance that will increase the upper end weight by 9 pounds. |
