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.
