Welcome to Grand Association Pop Warner – Let’s Get Started! 🏈
We’re thrilled to have you as part of the Grand family! Here’s everything you need to know now that you're officially registered:
✅ 1. I’m Registered – What’s Next?
To be placed on a team roster, you must upload all required paperwork to your SportsConnect account.
No paperwork = No placement.
📆 Teams will be finalized in early June, and coaches will start reaching out shortly after. Be on the lookout for parent/player meetings in early July.
🖥️ Stay updated by following our website and Facebook page for upcoming events and key info.
🏈 2. What Equipment Will I Need?
Grand Pop Warner no longer provides helmets or shoulder pads, so here’s what you’ll need to get your athlete ready:
👓 Players who wear glasses must use clear-lens sports glasses with a head strap. No tinted or transition lenses allowed.
Be sure to have all gear ready by the first day of practice!
📅 3. When Does Practice Start?
Practice officially begins July 15th!
Practice days may vary based on field availability and weather. Your coach or team manager will keep you updated.
🏟️ 4. When Are Games?
Games are held on Saturdays, typically starting between 8 AM and 2 PM, depending on age group.
Game schedules will be shared in mid-August.
💰 5. Do We Need to Fundraise or Find Sponsors?
