Weight Certification for Football Players

A league board member will be present on Thursday, August 23rd to begin weigh-ins for football players' weight certification at 6:30pm. All football players will need to come to practice in spirit pack shorts and t-shirts and bring practice equipment (helmet, pants, and shoulder pads) to change into as soon as they are weighed.

If your child is not present or does not make weight certification on this date, you will be responsible for getting your child to a TBD location to become weight certified in order for your child to be able to play in games (last year it was in Garner). If your child is not weight certified, your child cannot play in games.

If you are unsure about the weight limits, please go to the age/weight matrix on our website or the main Pop Warner website.

• Your child must come within a pound of the maximum weight to be certified for the roster.
• In order to be able to continue practice even though not weight certified, your child must be within 2-6 pounds above the maximum weight limit and continue to try to get weight certified before being allowed to play in a game.
