Welcome to the Internet home of Lake Placid Youth Football!
We are excited that you have stopped by to see what we have to offer for the youth of Lake Placid!
The 2008 Season begins in August. Lake Placid Youth Football has affiliated with the Peace River Conference which should allow us some more opportunities within the Pop Warner Organization.
Practice began on August 1, 2008.
We are still looking for football players and cheerleaders to complete our rosters!
Our first tackle games are scheduled for August 23, 2008 at LaBelle.
Please attend our next meeting to provide input and suggestions!
Pop Warner football has been around since the inception of the league in 1929 by founder Joseph J. Tomlin as a four-team conference in Northeast Philadelphia. Since then, participation has steadily increased to today's record numbers. Over 240,000 youths participated in Pop Warner-sanctioned football programs in 2004, and those numbers are continuing to grow.
Pop Warner exists to use football, cheerleading, dance and a respect for education to develop strong, smart, responsible, healthy young men and women. We give them experiences that build their appreciation for and understanding of leadership, teamwork, and discipline.
While individual statistics may be more common, particularly among older football players, Pop Warner only recognizes the athletic accomplishments of the team, not the individual. We don't track personal tallies of touchdowns or yards rushing per game. We don't count sacks or blocked kicks. We applaud the athletic efforts of the team to reinforce the importance of teamwork, with each member.
We don't try to build stars. We don't want to over-inflate a young ego, nor do we want to risk injuring the self-esteem of a young person. Whether our kids have good days or bad, they are still an integral part of our team…and always will be.
