Over the last several years, it has been a great pleasure of mine to have participated with the events for young athletes and scholars through the Pop Warner organization. I have attended many a football game, with eyes fixated not only on the gridiron, but on the lovely young cheerleader teams lending their support.
Like any organization of this scope with such a long history, Pop Warner is not without their share of issues. With a strong participation from volunteers, it sort of goes with the territory. But it should be noted, and it will be here and now, that the opportunities presented to our youth through this fine organization are endless, as the life lessons obtained will power the success of these future leaders for a lifetime.
The regional and national awards banquets are an outstanding avenue of recognition for the scholar athletes, who are recognized not only for their athletic prowess but for their work in the classroom and in the community.
Should you have children of age, I would highly recommend you giving consideration to having your child be participatory in the opportunities afforded within this organization. Not only have hundreds of thousands of children benefited from their involvement, many parents have as well. Friendships formed help form the bedrock of principles many of us as individuals and teammates seek to hold dear.
As my time has expired for intimate involvement, I will cherish with great appreciation the time spent with my family and other families as we supported the fine young people involved, who without doubt, will be the future leaders of this great country.
May God Bless them all!
