How much will my child play in football and what position will he play?

Decisions about playing time and positions are made by the coaches of the team, and are the final responsibility of the Head Coach. National Pop Warner rules require (the Minimum Play Rule or MPR) that players who attend all scheduled practices will play at least 8 to 12 plays in a game (most games include 20-60 plays). Coaches will make playing time and position assignment decisions based on hard work, practice attendance, experience, demonstrated skills at assigned positions, game performance and concern for player safety. Keep in mind that all teams at all levels want to win games and no coach wants to put a player in an unfair situation where he has little chance of succeeding or a high chance of injury. First time players should expect less playing time than returning, experienced players until they gain confidence and demonstrate their abilities to their Head Coach. Head Coaches are encouraged to carefully evaluate players on a week to week basis and there are many imps when a first year player, over time will gain more playing time based on improvement shown.

Can my child pick their jersey number?

During registration players are asked to request their top 3 choices.  Numbers are then assigned by registration priority numbers. Priority numbers are assigned during walk in registration and are also used when forming teams.
