The LUYAA program…a staple of the Mt. Airy region as far as football is concerned is on pace to set record numbers for registered players this year.  An organization that normally would be just starting registration in May is already topping over 495 registered players and counting.  The program wants to continue to grow and offer a great place for kids of all ages to learn how to play football.  The groups growing popularity can be attributed to the overall success of the organization and the desire to let all players participate in every game at every level.  On line registration is currently under way at www.LUYAA.org

Middletown Knights youth football program has embraced the new weight changes in the MVYFL.  It could be a great chance to bring kids together and allow them to develop and gel as a team.  Per the website update… @ http://www.mvaasports.com/Football/Football.htm

Increased weight limits - NEW for ‘08

Beginning with the 2008 season, the varsity level will have an unlimited weight format for league play.  Additionally, all younger level teams have increased their weight limits by 20 pounds.  This change will finally enable all players within the Middletown draw area to join together and strengthen our commitment to  Middletown Football.

Jim Taft looked at me with all those years of experience behind him and said “Joe you must learn to read volunteers, a few of these guys are thinking of only themselves” I was sure he was wrong – look at all the time they had put into their positions directing both the adults and youth.

Even though Jim had lost sight in one eye while blocking a punt as a young Washington Redskin free agent, his insight remained keen.

With over 30 years as a commissioner of a national youth football organization, Jim had seen it all. He had that sixth sense of seeing right through the familiar hyperbole of a selfish motive. 

This quote was taken from a page of www.Americanyouthfootball.com and can be a reminder for league leadership when looking for volunteers.  Don’t be afraid to speak your mind!

Safety, Safety, Safety! – 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!

Mandatory Play Requirements – Everyone participates under mandatory rules of play. Each league may set a higher number of Mandatory Plays, but never less than the minimum set by PWLS. All MPR’s should be based on eligible players at the time of the game.

 Age-Weight Structure – Kids compete with kids of similar age and size. We set and enforce a strict AGE & WEIGHT MATRIX that reduces the risk and reality of injuries.

More than just athletes! – Pop Warner Little Scholars, Inc. (PWLS) is the only national youth sports organization in America that requires its participants to perform adequately in the classroom before permitting them to play. We believe that the standards we have set give these children a sense of responsibility and an appreciation for academics and athletics that will help them develop later on in life.
