All of our divisions from MM's to Cadets are 11 man tackle football,

learn football in the same platform as you will be playing in High School.

RT(Rookie Tackle) is 8 man tackle football.

 

Alaska South Central Pop Warner is actively involved in HEADS UP Football in

cooperation with USA FOOTBALL and the NFL to ensure the safety and

well being of the participants. We care about the kids and strive to

give them a fun and safe environment in which to participate.
 

 

 We teach correct tackling, more conditioning and proper blocking techniques to reduce  the chance

of injuries. We also use the best football gear available, like Riddell, Schutt, Rawlings.

One reason we have the fewest injuries of any league is the requirement that

ALL players must complete 10 hours of NON padded/NON contact conditioning BEFORE

they can receive their football gear and start tackling,blocking etc. This is a key element

to our safety record which is far lower than any other football league in the state.

Our coaches undergo a complete online training and certification course

as well as live coaching clinics before season. Most of our coaches

have been with the program for years, some up to 26

years in the same association! We are dedicated to the players futures and well being.

 

Interested in becoming a coach?  Give us a call and find out what fun you can have!

All our head coaches and assistant head coaches must complete a

thorough coaching certification program and all Pop Warner Volunteers

have to pass a mandatory background check prior to being accepted into our program.

ALL Pop Warner Coaches are USA HEADS UP  and SAFESPORT certified.

 

Come join the most competitive football league in Alaska!
Alaska Southcentral Pop Warner football,
with over 850 participants annually and growing,
we offer the biggest and best football and cheer in the state.
