**LNYS' register players down to the lowest age based team to give each player the best developmental opportunity possible.  LNYS does not roster a player up to the next level at a Coach's or Parent's request.
***Above teams are subject to change pending Pop Warner Direction and/or LNYS Board Decisions

****We have created a NON POP WARNER LNYS Flag program for this season.  This will be a developmental program geared to preparing your player for their future football career.  Big focus on athleticism, strength, quickness, agility, overall focus, effort, listening, and teamwork.  Practice will be Mon & Thur from 6:30pm-7:30pm at Heroes Community Park (NOTE: First 2 weeks, practice will be held at Valencia College on Narcoossee Rd in Lake Nona)

Please reference the 2024 pop warner forms and go over the checklist (located on our website under the forms & link tab) as a guide for what forms are required and how to successfully complete your athlete's registration. 

Individual team moms will collect required paperwork per the referenced checklist, provide access to hard copy required forms, answer questions and or help parents fill out paperwork/register online.  

The regular season begins on August 1st and consists of 7 or 8 regular season games.  Playoffs will take place after the regular season for eligible teams.  Please check back to this website regularly for updates on camps and conditioning that will be taking place between May and the start of the season.

Players will be required to get 10 hours of acclimation training prior to suiting up, so the schedule for the first two weeks will have different days/hours depending on the level of play and at the coach’s discretion.

PRACTICE - Held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at Heroes Park (14028 Centerline Drive, Orlando, FL 32827)

GAMES will be played on Saturdays at Lake Nona High School (12500 Narcoossee Rd, Orlando, FL 32832)
